MCO Presents a New Training Orchestra
The Upbeat Development Orchestra was started in June 2017 to accommodate more musicians of all ages in Marlborough who may have only just picked up their instrument recently, be recent beginners or be under a level of around Grade 5.
This orchestra is currently being conducted by Elgee Leung, a professional cellist from Hong Kong, and plays a wide variety of music from classical, to the great tunes from musicals, modern pop and the older classics.
UDO recently joined MCO on stage for the Schools' Concerts playing 5 numbers with the MCO, and we plan to join the orchestras together once a year, along with providing UDO with it's own training weekends and concerts.
The next concert for UDO will be December 8th at Nativity Church 2018.
Anyone wanting to join in is more than welcome. All instruments are needed and we're hoping to develop this orchestra into a great orchestra in it's own right. This orchestra is also a training orchestra, so as members get beyond Grade 5 they can then join in the MCO if there is space.
Members of UDO range in age from 6/7 year olds to people in their 80's so please feel free to join in the fun.
Please contact us at the MCO email address marlboroughcivicorchestra@gmail.com if you'd like to come along to UDO rehearsals at St Ninians Hall on Friday afternoons from 4.45 - 6.00pm.
