Whether you’re returning after a hiatus or seeking a community to share your musical journey, our ensembles provide the perfect platform to reconnect with your instrument and fellow music enthusiasts.

“I hadn’t played in years, but joining the Rusty Players Orchestra felt like coming home. The encouragement and camaraderie reignited my passion for music.”

🎵 Inclusive and Welcoming Environment

At the Rusty Players Orchestra, we believe music is for everyone. There are no auditions, and we embrace all orchestral instruments, including those less commonly found in traditional ensembles.

Our flexible approach ensures that every musician, regardless of their instrument or background, has a place in our orchestra.

“I was amazed at how welcoming the orchestra was. It didn’t matter that I played a less common instrument; they made me feel like an essential part of the group.”

🎻 Supportive Community with Performance Mentoring

Joining the Rusty Players Orchestra means becoming part of a community that values growth and confidence-building. We offer performance mentoring to help you regain your musical confidence and enhance your skills.

Our experienced conductors and supportive peers work together to create an environment where you can thrive musically and personally.

“The mentoring I received was invaluable. It not only improved my playing but also boosted my confidence to perform in front of an audience again.”
