    ROSL has been home to a prestigious annual programme of competitions, concerts and exhibitions for over 70 years.

    Highlights include the Club’s Annual Music Competition and the bi-annual Photographic Competition. Now in its 72nd year, the AMC has historically proved a springboard for luminaries such as Jacqueline du Pre and Melvyn Tan and is an exciting opportunity to discover the best new musical talent.
