military salon orchestras

a career in music starting in the services, is the route many talented players take and the combination of instruments learned means that salon orchestras combining strings and woodwind are available for private engagements

these musical groups create superb background music for receptions and dinners with the musicians in military uniform

the number of players can vary between five and twelve and salon orchestras normally play for up to 2 - 2.5 hours in total

salon orchestras from the services play at numerous official occasions and mess dinners as a matter of tradition 

concert and wind bands

with such a wealth of musical talent, it comes as no suprise to learn that many directors of music from the various military bands, enjoy the concert stage as a platform to present those talents to the full

at certain times of the year and when official engagements allow, concert opportunities arise for those organisations who see this as a good promotional undertaking and there has always been good public support for these concerts

what is meant by the "exigencies of the service"?    are you looking for stylish light classical music ?
