Since October 2000 the Marryat Players have performed concerts in the spring, summer and autumn of each year. Each concert is the culmination of five days of intensive rehearsals at the orchestra's home in Marryat Road, Wimbledon Village, under the guidance of conductors Matthias Feile, Alexander Baillie and Robert Max.

Supported by young professional musicians and music students, the 40 young musicians have played works by Arensky, Bach, Barber, Bartok, Bridge, Britten, Corelli, Dvorak, Elgar, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Pachelbel, Pärt, Piazzolla, Prokofiev, Puccini, Purcell, Respighi, Rossini, Saint-Saëns, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Strauss, Suk, Tchaikovsky, Telemann, Turina, Vaughan Williams, Vivaldi and Wirén. The Marryat Players have also performed new works written for them by Alexander Baillie and 17-year-old cellist Colin Alexander.
