Orchestra in Black Country

After a 20-year break in picking up the Cello I was told about Rusty's. Thinking it would be too big a step too soon I was pleasantly surprised when I attended my first of 2 trial sessions. There is no pressure to get it right first time. The focus is just on enjoying making music and the rest naturally follows! The orchestra members are a really warm and welcoming bunch and by the end of my first session, I knew that being part of Rusty's was going to be a regular part of my life. It has fast become one of the highlights of my week and my love for making music is stronger than ever! Thank you Rusty's.

Before I joined The Rusty Player's Orchestra, I'd been a fourth horn playing semibreves timidly at the back of multiple orchestras for 25 years. The Rusty Player's Orchestra encouraged me to play out, and now I'm playing solos, because of how much encouragement my efforts received. I'm learning that imperfection isn't failure.
