Auckland Wind Orchestra Chamber Concert
Sunday 4th December 2011, 4pm
Mount Albert Methodist Church
$15 waged / $10 unwaged
The Auckland Wind Orchestra has had a long association of playing regular concerts in the Auckland area since the 1970's, but it was not until 2010 that it was decided that we should branch out and dedicate one of our concerts of the season to chamber groups.
Following on from the success of last year's inaugural concert the Auckland Wind Orchestra is delighted to announce that once again we will be showcasing the amazing talents from within the orchestra.
Expect to hear the sheer brilliance of the brass section opening the concert, a selection of movie tunes from our bassoon quartet, the sonorous sounds of our saxophone groups and the magnificence of our clarinet and flute choirs and you will also hear some toe tapping music from the Dixie band made up from a variety of instruments chosen from across the orchestra.
So, expect the unexpected and discover the wonderful sounds that can be created by some clever collaboration within the orchestra and hear them as you have never heard them before.
Please come and join in the fun on Sunday the 4th December at the Mount Albert Methodist Church from 4pm.
