Would you like to play in an orchestra but don’t have the confidence to make that leap? The Rusty Player Orchestra could just be the place for you. The most relaxed orchestra in Aotearoa is aimed at returning and novice musicians and has a focus on participation over performance. You will find fun, camaraderie and great music to be the order of the day.
In Rusty Symphony we will play Brahms’ lively Academic Festival Overture, Farandole from Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suite No. 2, and the sumptuous Somewhere Out There from the movie, An American Tale.
During the break, enjoy a shared afternoon tea where you will get a chance to mix with your fellow musicians.
Registrations will open closer to the event but in the meantime, follow the link to go onto our mailing list to hear about Rusty Player Orchestra events.
