About Rehearsal Orchestra (The)
The Rehearsal Orchestra was founded — as the Edinburgh Rehearsal Orchestra (ERO) — at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1957. Harry Legge, a viola-player in the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra working with such legendary conductors as Beecham, Rodzinski, Gui, Giulini and Klemperer, had regularly enjoyed the RPO's visits to the Festival and noticed the number of players about during the day waiting for evening concerts. To ‘keep them out of the rain’ he came up with the brilliant idea of forming a rehearsal orchestra to enable them to study the major works they would then hear performed by major orchestras in the evenings!
