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.
