What it does — in its own words
Ongoing programs
Start of rehearsals in September 2023. Perform 3-4 affordable orchestral concerts per season September to June. Provide professional coaching and educational opportunities to our members. We are open to all musicians that can read music with some limitations due to the size of the sections. We do not require an audition. There are 50 volunteers that contribute 1000's of hours to our management. The Board of directors met monthly to manage review and approve the activities of the KW Community Orchestra.
New programs
We applied for and received an extra grant for COVID-19 relief and a grant from Waterloo Region community Foundation. We solicited more sponsorships and donations. All the extra funding covered the substantial shortfall that we budgeted. Costs have risen substantially.
