The Really Terrible Orchestra
of Pennsylvania
Fulfill your love of music and bring your sense of humor.
RTO rehearses each week at Kirkland Village which is located near Bethlehem Catholic High School off Madison Avenue. We rehearse every Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. unless we are performing elsewhere.
Although we currently have some excellent musicians, the RTO is designed to accommodate musicians who haven’t touched their instrument in years and just want to play with a group. The goal is to help you hone your skills while enjoying the camaraderie of an orchestra. No auditions are required; we support each other; we do not compete with each other.
Please come and visit us. You may just listen or, if you want to play, please email us at rto.penn@gmail.com. Give us a few days’ advance notice so that we can have some music ready for you. Bring your instrument, a music stand, and your sense of humor!
If you are an organization that would like us to play a concert for you, please email us and we will get back to you shortly.
Introducing: The Really Terrible String Orchestra (RTSO)
The RTO is expanding by adding the RTSO. This will be a strings-only version of the RTO with some percussion, as needed. The philosophy of the RTO will extend into the RTSO. No pressure; be flexible; enjoy music; learn something new!
