Members come from all over Essex, with an age-range encompassing students through to senior citizens, all of whom have a minimum qualification of grade 6 and above.
The orchestra regularly gives concerts at local venues around South Essex and has performed at the bandstands in Priory Park, Southend and Castle Park, Colchester.
