The orchestra began in mid-1997 as a very small group of musicians,
several of whom had worked years before with George Logie-Smith, our first Director.
Since March 2000 we have enjoyed the guidance of Christopher Martin, whose reputation attracted many more players,
and we now have about 55 members, including several ex-MSO members and many enthusiastic and skilled amateur musicians.
We give 3 concerts a year with a repertoire drawn mainly from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
