Welcome!

The Brandon Community Orchestra is a member-run, amateur orchestra located in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.

Our season typically features rehearsals every Saturday from September to May, at the Brandon University School of Music. Our concert series includes an annual feature at the Brandon City Hall holiday open house, and a spring gala performance that showcases our talents and provides an opportunity to feature musical guests in collaboration. We also travel to other Manitoba communities to bring our performances to a wider audience. Our music covers the orchestral range from classical to new music, musical theatre, and cinematic scores. We also work with composers in Western Manitoba to bring new compositions to life.

Our 2021-22 season begins October 23, 2021 with in-person rehearsals. See the Join Us section for more information about fall 2021 rehearsals.

We are delighted to have Josias Sanchez return as our conductor for 2021/22. Many thanks to our 2020/21 conductor, Robert Richardson Jr, who brought tremendous inspiration and creativity to our virtual gatherings, to keep our musical community together and help us stay ready for music-making.
