The Orchestra

Founded in 1977 by Andrew Mogrelia the Leamington Chamber Orchestra is a high quality amateur orchestra performing in Leamington Spa.  The orchestra has a varied repertoire and is particularly keen to promote and perform lesser known pieces, and 20th Century works including commissions. 

Concerts are held three times a year. Musicians travel from across the country to play music to high standard and work with eminent musicians. 

The orchestra is keen to promote young soloists particularly those with a local connection.   Previous soloists have included Helen Powell and Anne Bradley, both now freelance professionals who were brought up in the area.

Other eminent soloists have included Alan Hacker (clarinet) who premiered a concerto by Keith Beal, April Fredrick (Soprano), David le-Page (Violin), Gina McCormack (violin), Adrian Bradbury (cello), Andrew Gough (guitar), Gina McCormack (violin) and Eleanor Turner (Harp).

Music Director and conductor is Richard Laing.
