KEEN TO JOIN YOW?

We’d love to talk to you – get in touch so we can tell you more, or read more on the YOW page of this website.

PLEASE CHECK BACK REGULARLY AS FROM TIME TO TIME OUR VENUE OR TIME MAY CHANGE

PLEASE NOTE – YOW DOES NOT HOLD REHEARSALS DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

Celebrate Fete de la Musique (World Music Day) with us!

Enjoy a shared lunch on us, then a small group ‘sectional’, play through fun and exciting repertoire with the whole orchestra.  Invite your Whanau to come and enjoy a Rusty mini-concert at the end of the day!

Got an instrument lurking under a bed somewhere? Love making music but no-one to play with? Been a long time since you played? Play one instrument well but still learning a second? Then this is for you!

Bring your instrument and join in. No scary solos!

$15 per person – register now (email admin@orchestras.org.nz) and music will be made available to you before the day! INCLUDES LUNCH.

Musicians are invited to participate in a year long programme of development and community building.

Registrations are essential as minimum numbers are required for each event. Please contact us for more information.

Open to all Musicians of Grade 5 (minimum). You do not have to be currently playing with an OCT orchestra to take par – in fact, if you’re not we’d love you to join us!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Saturday 24 August (part of Sensing Music) – trainee conductor session and experienced conductor training

Monday 30/9 – Mentoring 3: Brass

Monday 7/10 – Mentoring 4: Percussion

Monday 14 October – New conductor workshop
