Welcome to the homepage of the combined orchestra of Churchill, Fitzwilliam, Murray Edwards, Magdalene, Girton, Robinson, St Edmund’s and Lucy Cavendish colleges, also known as the Orchestra on the Hill!
Student-run, the orchestra exists to promote good musicianship among members of Churchill, Fitzwilliam, Murray Edwards, Magdalene, Girton, Robinson, St Edmund’s and Lucy Cavendish Colleges and the wider University who are interested in performing orchestral music. We also aim to support the University’s core values by promoting the cultural life of the University in the wider academic and local community.
The orchestra has built up an enviable reputation for innovative programming, and not just playing traditional repertoire. Our repertoire includes themes from How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, contemporary works including a variety of female composers.
