What has been going on behind the scenes in CORO’s enforced break?
Enthusiastic groups have come together to bring you a collection of music to entertain and delight at the end of a period where, while we have been enjoying playing our instruments individually, we have not performed in public. One of the groups is a trio from Wanaka the ACE Chamber Ensemble consisting of Allen Hogan, Norie Haynes and Brian Budd. The other group is a less traditional collection of players from Alexandra and Wanaka loosely based on quartets and quintets where players contribute required parts. An example of this is the use of a French horn to supplement the sound of some pieces. The number of players involved represents about a third of the complete Central Otago Regional Orchestra which as a whole group has been entertaining the wider Central Otago Region for more than three decades.
The players have been enjoying making music together again and are delighted to present a fresh programme of well-loved and lesser-known music for you to enjoy.
Reminiscent of our Chamber music concerts 18 months ago, we have put together a collection of music which covers a wide range of styles including Mozart, Vivaldi, Ravel, Haydn, Gardel and McMichael. Think Bolero, Baroque, Classical, Tango and Ceilidh – mix for over an hour and you have a concoction in which there is bound to be something to suit your taste. Springing back to life! with Central Otago’s Regional Orchestra.
Join us at Bannockburn Hall 7pm on the 27th of November
