Welcome Back to KSO season 2025-2026!   

The KSO is comprised of amateur and professional musicians sharing a love for orchestra.   The spirit of this ensemble embraces the journey towards creating a beautiful orchestral sound while enjoying the comradery of fellow musicians.   Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind.  

• Come to the first rehearsal of each concert block with all your parts printed and the bar numbers marked.

• Players are asked to arrive at the rehearsal venue at 7:00 pm or shortly after, where possible, to allow time for chatting and to be seated and ready for tuning at 7:30 pm sharp.

• Especially appreciated is arriving early to help set up the chairs.  All players are responsible for putting their chair away at the end of rehearsal.

• Players must avoid all unnecessary talk during tuning and throughout rehearsals. Please save your comments and discussions for before or after rehearsal or during the break.

• Players must show respect for the conductor at all times, including listening to and following his/her instructions and starting and stopping playing when asked.

• All orchestra members are asked to be kind, respectful and supportive of each other. KSO enjoys a reputation for a friendly atmosphere; let’s keep it! 

• If you know you’re going to be unable to attend a rehearsal or perform in a concert, please let the HR Manager know as much in advance as possible.

• Inviting players to join the orchestra is wonderful and should be discussed with HR.
