Officials & Friends
Here is a list of the Orchestra Officials, the Committee, our President, Vice-Presidents and our Friends.
The Orchestra Committee and President are elected by the members at each Annual General Meeting. A Vice-President is an honour given to someone to whom the orchestra wishes to express special appreciation and is an appointment that is given for life.
Our Friends are people who choose to support the Orchestra by paying a subscription at the beginning of each financial year in return for a complimentary ticket to each of our concerts.
