Established in 1923, the Argyle String Orchestra is Bath's oldest amateur orchestra. After 35 years at the helm, our fantastic conductor Tim Robb is retiring, and we are looking for a new director to guide the Orchestra into the future.

The Orchestra comprises around 30 musicians and performs 3 concerts a year, rehearsing on Thursday evenings in Bath. There are no auditions, but members are normally at Grade 5+. We perform a wide-ranging repertoire of well-known masterpieces and rare gems from around the world. We are well-known for supporting new local composers with developing works. With people of all ages, standards and backgrounds, ‘The Argyle’ as it’s affectionately known, is a friendly and welcoming ensemble.

The Argyle is established as an unincorporated charity with a membership comprising the players and an elected committee. The committee will lead on the recruitment and selection process, but will be informed by input from Orchestra members.
