The Wellington
Chamber Orchestra is an amateur group established in
1972 to:
 Provide an opportunity for
members to
develop their musicianship and
explore the orchestral repertoire- Provide affordable family concerts in and
around Wellington
- Provide an opportunity for musicians
(particularly young musicians)
to perform as soloists.
- Above all enjoy the experience of creating live
music together
Each term (based on school terms) we rehearse a
new
programme which is usually performed in
Wellington City, though also at times at venues across the
region.
Weekly rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings with the concert on a
Sunday
afternoon at term end.
We are fortunate to be able to engage
various guest conductors to provide a
range of programmes, styles, and musical experiences.
We're a welcoming orchestra with a size (typically
40-50 members) and composition changing according to the
term's programme. To broaden the repertoire the
orchestra also joins with other musical groups on occasion.
Our next concert under Michael Joel promises to be
a
great afternoon combining a Beethoven piano concerto and Vaughan
Williams sysmphony. For full details can be found here.
