New Members

We are a community group and all members are volunteers.

ESO rehearses Tuesdays 7.15pm to 9.45pm, at the Moonee Ponds Bowls Club, Queens park, 776 Mt Alexander Rd, Moonee Ponds, Vic 3039

We are in recess from early December to the end of January. Members provide their own instrument and music stand.

We expect that members will perform in all/most of our concerts and that they will attend a high percentage of rehearsals especially the weeks immediately before a concert. Demand for some positions is quite high (e.g. flutes) so regular participation is an important part of ensuring ongoing membership.

Members pay an annual fee of $240. In cases of hardship fees can be negotiate with the Treasurer. This fee helps us cover the costs of running ESO such as venue hire, providing music etc.

Applications will be considered by the Musical Director. If your application is not successful, you may be placed on a waiting list. Invitations to join will be based on positions opening in the ensemble and performance standard.

All members of the ESO require a current working with children check.
