Talk to the conductor, give him the score, let them rehearse it. Hire/borrow a reasonable sounding room, and take along your PC with some microphones. You could even record at one of their rehersals if that's convenient. Try youth, amateur, college and University orchestras. I'm sure that most of these kinds of groups would be keen to get involved. Most musicians like playing music... It might not be the same as a professional orchestra, but some of them do sound good. Regards, Michael
