We are pleased to share news of the launch of the Thames Vale Intermediate Orchestra (TVIO), which will be welcoming young players who are currently around Grades 3-5+.

TVIO will introduce its members to the essential skills needed to play in an orchestra while exploring a wide range of exciting pieces from Baroque to movie music. The new orchestra (run by TVYO) is led and conducted by Helen Eccleston (Abingdon Music Centre teacher). It will meet at Larkmead School, Abingdon on Monday evenings (18.15- 19.45). Applications are now open and the new orchestra will begin rehearsals in September 2025. If you are interested in joining TVIO, or simply finding out more about us, please refer to the TVIO information page: https://www.tvyo.org.uk/about-us
