Oare String Orchestra

Making music since 1982

Why Oare?

Situated on a creek, overlooking the marshes just outside Faversham, the village of Oare is home to our founder and Life President, Don Goodsell. The inaugural concert took place on 17th. October 1982 in Oare church, with an orchestra of 17 local players. Although we have now moved "home" to the Alexander Centre in Faversham for most of our concerts, we maintain ourlinks with Oare by rehearsing in the village hall prior to each concert.
