Welcome to the West London Strings amateur orchestra
Looking for a string orchestra in West London in the Hammersmith and Fulham area? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Formed in 2009, West London Strings is a very friendly amateur string orchestra which enjoys playing string music on Monday evenings. Susanna Wilson is our inspirational conductor and we also benefit from being led by a professional on the first violins, violas and the cellos.
There are no auditions and all are welcome.
Music is chosen to suit the membership and we work on a range of pieces, from pre-baroque to 21st century, in a non-pressurised and supportive environment.
Come and see what we do by joining us for a no commitment session before you sign up. You can contact us using the form below.
Our Conductor – Susanna Wilson
We are very fortunate to have Susanna Wilson as our conductor. Following her studies with Florence Hooton at The Royal Academy of Music, and post-graduate study with Raphael Wallfisch, Susanna has had an extensive career as soloist, chamber musician and freelance orchestral musician, performing at venues as diverse as The Barbican, The Bath Assembly Rooms, Norwegian Cruise Liners and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Susanna is currently also a tutor for The East London Late Starters’ Orchestra and the Mary Ward Centre as well as enjoying regular invitations to tutor at Morley College and the City Lit.
Come and join us!
There are no auditions and we always welcome new members. We would be particularly keen to hear from viola players and would love a double bass!
