The Sherborne Community Orchestra was founded in 1997 as a rehearsal orchestra for amateur musicians from Sherborne, Dorset, and the surrounding areas. 

​ It meets four times a year,  the fourth session including an informal public concert.
​
The orchestra is around fifty strong, with a professional conductor and leader.  Concerto soloists are often taken from members of the orchestra.
​
New members are always welcome, especially string and percussion players.  As a guide, players should have reached Associated Board grade V or above.
