COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA WORKSHOP

The BCO has formed a partnership with the Winnipeg Pops Orchestra to hold a joint community orchestra workshop at the Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg, on the weekend of September 29, 2017. It will be a weekend of fun and learning for orchestral musicians. The workshop is open to members of both orchestras and amateur musicians from across Manitoba.

Our learning will be led by guest conductors Andrea Bell and Dan Scholtz and a group of sectional clinicians. Watch this space for more details.

This will be our fourth joint workshop, as we have held biannual workshops, alternating between Winnipeg and Brandon, since 2011. The 2015 workshop was led by Robert Richardson Jr., and  featured sectional clinics with Melissa Ballard (percussion), Aaron Wilson (brass), Catherine Wood (woodwind) and Leanne Zacharias (low strings).
