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.

Thomas Coats Memorial Choral Society is seeking a musical director to lead us as we regroup following the pandemic and to work collaboratively to deliver our 2023 programme. Our season is January -March 2023, with a concert in Paisley Abbey in March 2023.
