Our Pit Orchestra

• As already stated, SMTS works in close partnership with the SMSO, an instrumental ensemble of highly skilled student and Glasgow based musicians who, under the baton of the musical director (MD), accompany us during our performances. 

  • As already stated, our pit orchestra is formed by individuals who work professionally as musicians, but also from people who play in various musical groups within the university;

  • For most productions, we are able to gain funding to offer all of our band musicians a small, but generous fee. This fee is generally in line with that of other amateur/student musical theatre groups within the Glasgow City area.

StrathMusical Society Orchestra (SMSO), In association with members of...

Strathclyde University Jazz Orchestra (SUJO), and Strathclyde University Concert Band (SUCB).
