Our rehearsals almost always are held in the main hall of the UCL Academy (UCLA)  NW3 3AQ.

This is situated on the corner of Avenue Road and Adelaide Road, with the entrance in Adelaide Road and is a very short walk from Swiss Cottage Tube Station

Award Schemes

The orchestra offers two annual prizes (a ‘scholarship’ of £400 and ‘exhibition’ of £250) to two string students. We welcome candidates, and encourage them to play for more than the minimum number of obligatory rehearsals.

The winners are chosen each summer from those who have played in one or more of the season’s concerts. If you would like to know more about being a paid string student, or about our award scheme, please email royalorchsoc@gmail.com.
