About the Orchestra |
|
Having met for the first time in February 2004, the Buckinghamshire Chamber Orchestra has presented a series of concerts in North Buckinghamshire with Musical Director, Catherine Rose.
The Orchestra specialises in the Classical, Baroque and Early Romantic periods, but occasionally ventures into music of the 20th or even 21st century. As a Chamber Orchestra with a complement of twenty-eight strong players, it is able to present anything from Symphonies and Concertos, to works that are often neglected by the large Symphony Orchestra, such as Octets, Decets and Serenades. We would love to talk to audience members who wish to become supporters of the Orchestra, and opportunities for local businesses to sponsor concerts in return for publicity and hospitality before and after the event. |
