#PLAYALONGSYMPHONY
A DIFFERENT SYMPHONY, EVERY FRIDAY
*UPDATE MAY 2021: We have decided to stop running #playalongsymphony for now.
Let's go enjoy playing IRL!*
Open and free to all, #playalongsymphony was born out of a need for
orchestral musicians to connect and play together.

How did it start?
Originally devised by Seb Philpott, Jessie has been running #playalongsymphony since July 2020.
It started in lockdown when us musicians were all desperate to play together and keep fit, and we're still going!
How do you pick the repertoire?
Repertoire is chosen via a twitter poll every second Monday on Jessie's Twitter Page. The winner and 2nd place pieces are then played on the following two Fridays. Click here to vote, or below!
