General Information

    1. Introduction
      The LSO was founded in 1922 by Doctor Malcolm Sargent (later Sir) with the aim of providing a high quality local orchestra. For more information on the history of LSO see our history page.
      The orchestra is a registered charity and limited company. It is a member of the UK national organisation supporting and championing voluntary music – ‘Making Music’, and Voluntary Arts England.
    2. Aims and objectives
      The orchestra aims to attract the best local players to perform a minimum of 3 concerts per year in De Montfort Hall Leicester, and occasional other concerts. We support high quality amateur music making through:

      • rehearsal and workshops
      • contracting high calibre professional conductors and concerto soloists
      • working with other local music groups and choirs to help develop their performance
    3. Finance
      The LSO is largely self-supporting with most income coming from:

      • players’ subscriptions
      • concert ticket sales
      • paid engagements

      From time to time we receive money from legacies, donations and grants.

    4. Governance
      The orchestra is a Company limited by Guarantee under the regulations of the Companies Acts. The legal documents are kept by the Chairperson. Every member of the orchestra is a member of the company, which is managed by its Council of Management (COM), elected by members at the Annual General Meeting.
    5. Equal Opportunities
      The LSO is an equal opportunities organisation. Discrimination on any grounds is not permitted. Membership fees are set at differentiated rates to encourage low waged and unemployed players to join. We use venues for rehearsals and concerts that comply with the Disability Discrimination Act standards for access.
      Concert tickets are offered at reduced rates to encourage attendance by children and to promote orchestral playing to new audiences. Tickets in DMH are promoted to disabled people within the 2-4-1 scheme where disabled people can be accompanied by a free seat for their carer/helper.

Player’s information and membership rules

  1. Membership
    1. Membership of the orchestra is open to experienced instrumentalists and interested players should contact the Chairperson in the first instance.
    2. Applicants for string section principals, wind, brass and percussion may be asked to attend a formal audition. Other string players will sit with the leader of their section for assessment of their orchestral playing. All new members’ applications are referred to the COM for approval.
    3. New members must complete an application form that is also the formal company registration and commits each member to pay a sum of up to £10.00 in the unlikely event that the orchestra becomes insolvent. Members who are under 18 will also be required to complete the LSO’s parental consent form.
    4. The COM has the power to terminate any membership, for example if playing standard falls short of that required or a member’s behaviour is considered to be inappropriate.
    5. The COM also agrees special awards and conditions for members who provide outstanding service to the orchestra through their playing or/and on the COM.
  2. Subscriptions
    1. Every member pays an annual subscription. Subscription fees are proposed by the COM and approved by members at the AGM.
    2. Subscriptions are due from the beginning of the financial year (July 1st) and normally collected during the first rehearsals of the season and must be paid by the first concert of the season. See separate document for rates and payment methods.
    3. Members who have not paid their subscriptions by the date of the first concert of each season may be replaced at subsequent concerts.
  3. Rehearsals
    1. There are usually 6 rehearsals per DMH concert including one on the afternoon of the concert. Rehearsals are a mix of Sunday afternoons and weekday evenings. Other concerts and rehearsals are also organised from time to time, including a tour abroad, usually every 2 years.
    2. Members are generally expected to play in all concerts undertaken by the orchestra and to attend all rehearsals. Any member who is unable to play in a concert or rehearsal should tell their section leader as soon as possible and where appropriate they may be asked to arrange for a deputy to cover their part (wind, percussion and brass in particular).
    3. Members who regularly miss rehearsals without notice may have their places filled and their membership terminated.
    4. Visitors may come and listen to rehearsals with the agreement of the Conductor or Chairperson.
    5. Guest players can be invited to play with the orchestra with the agreement of the Conductor or Chairperson and in line with player’s notified absence (see 8b. above).
    6. Players should provide their own music stands for rehearsals and concerts.
    7. Members are expected to practice parts as necessary in advance of rehearsal, and during rehearsal to observe directions given by the Conductor, keeping talking to a minimum.
  4. Section leaders
    1. Section leaders will ensure all players for their sections are selected in accordance with the membership rules.
    2. They will arrange for extra players and deputies to cover parts as necessary and in consultation with the Chairperson/COM.
    3. They will arrange for the distribution of parts to their section players and for bowing etc to be added.
    4. They are responsible for working with the COM and the Conductor to contribute to the standard of orchestral playing.
  5. Music and Concert Dress
    1. The orchestra will provide all scores and parts.
    2. Members are responsible for ensuring that all music taken home for rehearsal is available for each rehearsal.
    3. All music must be returned to the librarian immediately following each concert.
    4. Members may be asked to pay for parts, which are not returned by them, or parts that have been damaged whilst in their care.
    5. Concert dress is long black for women and DJ’s with white shirts for men.
  6. Ticket sales
    All members should do their best to sell tickets for every concert. Tickets are available on a sale or return basis from the Ticket Secretary. Players are able to earn 10% – 25% discount on every adult ticket sold. Other promotional offers are also made available from time to time to encourage new audiences.
  7. Child protection/vulnerable adults
    The COM takes its responsibility for safe-guarding children and vulnerable adults seriously and ensures that players under the age of 18 have parental permission to join the orchestra and that all rehearsal time takes place as open group work sessions. Arrangements made for sharing transport to rehearsals and concerts are not the responsibility of the orchestra. Only members of the orchestra who have CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) Clearance will be able to hold formal responsibility for players under the age of 18 when the orchestra is on tour.
  8. Data protection
    Personal Information on registration forms is supplied for use by the orchestra only and not passed on to any third party organisations.
