Musically challenged friends from sister orchestras in the US join the RTO in a celebration of mutual virtuosity to entertain and amuse all with their fiendish interpretations of many familiar pieces of music. The power of a great idea has sown seeds far and wide. Our American cousins join the RTO this year. The urge of people to play music, whatever the skill level, is so compelling that the RTO has many happy competitors across the world playing happily, while desperately hoping that audiences will recognise the tune.
