The New Redbridge Wind Orchestra (NRWO), based in Hainault, was founded in 1996 and currently has around 50 musicians.
Rehearsals take place during term time on Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9.15pm at the John Savage Centre in Fencepiece Road.

Juliet Moseley, a founding member who plays clarinet and bass clarinet, said: "We have people from all walks of life and varying ages - all over 18. We all learned a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument at school and wanted to find a way back into music."
The orchestra performs four to five concerts annually in the area and sometimes travels further afield. They often support charitable causes through their performances.
Ms Moseley added: "The aim is to deliver entertaining performances of a high musical standard, but we offer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which members can come together to have fun and enjoy making music."
The orchestra is open to players of around Associated Board Grade 5 standard or above, with an interest in improving their skills. Brass players are especially encouraged to get in touch, though woodwind and percussion players are also welcome.
