Musical Director Appointment from September 2025

St Albans Rehearsal Orchestra (SARO) is a symphony orchestra that rehearses for its members to enjoy playing in an orchestra, improve their understanding and ability of playing in an orchestra, and to be able to “perform” for themselves to the best of their ability.  It is in all senses an amateur orchestra and more akin to the notion of music groups that were part of adult education colleges. At the same time SARO is ambitious and seeks to be suitably challenged.  SARO does NOT put on concerts.  It does occasional sessions in schools to support music education.

 

The SARO committee is delighted to report that after careful deliberation we have appointed George Salmon as SARO Musical Director with effect from September 2025. The committee congratulates George on this appointment and thanks the other candidates for the time and trouble spent on their applications.
