The orchestra has between 8 and 20 string players &#8211; violins, violas, cellos and double basses &#8211; with a smaller group of wind players &#8211; oboes, french horns and bassoon.\u00a0 Basso continuo is provided by a harpsichord or chamber organ. Other instruments such as flutes, clarinets, trumpets and timpani are included when called for. SCOre plays without a conductor, in accordance with Eighteenth Century practice.\u00a0 The ensemble is led by the lead violin, with assistance from the harpsichord continuo.\u00a0 In the true spirit of a \u2018chamber orchestra\u2019, all players are encouraged to contribute to musical interpretation and drive. Players are generally \u2018good amateurs\u2019 chosen by invitation.\u00a0 Most live in south London, united geographically by the South Circular!\u00a0 The mix is enriched by some semi-professional players and instrumental music teachers.
