A community orchestra based in Bacchus Marsh, needs violinists.<\/p>\n
The Moorabool Light Orchestra\u2019s next concert is planned for Sunday, 16 October, at the Bacchus Marsh Hall and they require a few more musicians.<\/p>\n
Strings convenor Millie Koenders said that without string players, the Orchestra becomes a band and cannot perform its orchestral program.<\/p>\n
“I am looking for violinists at or above grade five level who will commit to two hours for Tuesday night rehearsals,” Ms Koenders said.<\/p>\n
“Players with five to six years of experience are what I am after.”<\/p>\n
The Orchestra aims to provide a place for musicians of all ages from across the Moorabool Shire and neighbouring regions to connect, and provides an educational and entertaining music program for its members and audiences.<\/p>\n
“Ideally, I would like to have four first violins, four seconds, two or three violas and four cellos,” Ms Koenders said.<\/p>\n
“However, it is the shortage of violins at the moment that is causing the most concern and the possibility the scheduled event could be cancelled.”<\/p>\n
“We know you’re out there, and you know who you are, so please contact me via the Orchestra website.”<\/p>\n
Three major concerts are performed annually, with rehearsals held four to six weeks before each event.<\/p>\n
In preparation for the October performance, rehearsals are on a Tuesday from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at the Bacchus Marsh Baptist Church, 29 Holt’s Lane in Darley.<\/p>\n
