Freshers
Returners

Pre-Term is a week long event hosted by the Southampton University Symphony Orchestra which involves daily rehearsals, socials catered for everyone and a concert at the end of the week before freshers week starts. This is a chance to meet fellow musicians and get a taster to what music societies are like. We promise it will be loads of fun!

The repertoire for the week is: 
Coleridge Taylor – Petite Suite de Concert
Khachaturian – Masquerade Suite
Saint-Saens – Baccanale
Borodin – Polovstian Dances from Prince Igor
Sibelius – Finlandia 

Rehearsal details: 10am-5pm, Monday 16th – Friday 20th September in the Plant Pot (SUSU, Building 42)
Concert Day: Saturday 21st September in the Turner Sims Concert Hall, 1-4pm rehearsal, 5pm Concert
Socials: First social on Sunday 15th, with another one every night! 

The cost for Pre-Term this year will be £80, which covers the cost of music, venue hire and accommodation. If you do not require accommodation, the cost of Pre-Term is £30. 

If you do have accommodation in Southampton (not including Halls of Residence) for the week, please indicate as such. If you do not have accommodation, you will be staying with a member of the orchestra in a spare room in their house. The member of the orchestra will get in contact with you as soon as possible to help you get settled in, as well as providing information for the week ahead!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us, either by DM (Insta/Facebook: @susorchestra) or by email at suso@soton.ac.uk
