Odyssey is aimed at 18-30 year olds who are keen to continue playing their instruments at a high level. These might be people starting off their music careers or young professionals who want to keep their playing up. Our auditions are entirely based on merit and whether you attend music college or not will not affect your position. We are really happy to accept people from a huge range of backgrounds and we think that having a big mix of people is part of what makes Odyssey special.

Odyssey's rehearsals usually take place on the three weekends before the concert with an extra rehearsal the evening before the concert. This means that members who work full-time jobs are able to take part. The rehearsal venues vary but are based in south London and are always within walking distance of a tube stop. More information is available on our auditions pages.
