Welcome to the New Edinburgh Orchestra web pages! We are a friendly amateur orchestra of around 50 players based in Edinburgh, Scotland and conducted by Tim Paxton. We are a member of Making Music: the National Federation of Music Societies. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings and perform three concerts a year. Our repertoire includes new music, including several works commissioned by the NEO, along with a variety of more familiar classical pieces.
We welcome enquiries from potential new members - players usually join for a trial period, and for some principal positions an audition may be required. If you are interested in joining the orchestra, please contact
Louise Fotheringham (string players)
or Amy Isard (wind and brass players)
If you are have a facebook account, join one of our groups - for orchestra members or friends/former members
