Marchwood Prelude in concert |
Marchwood Prelude is a community orchestra that was formed in 2009 and has grown to include more than 30 amateur musicians of all ages.
The music played by Marchwood Prelude is specially arranged by John Bell to accommodate the wide and varied range of instruments played in Marchwood Prelude.
Marchwood Prelude has evolved from an off-shoot of Marchwood Orchestra. The Orchestra was formed over 30 years ago in St John’s Church in Marchwood, by a group of enthusiastic amateur musicians under the leadership of Reg Martin. Marchwood Prelude has become a confident self-contained organisation as part of the Marchwood Music Society.
The motto of Marchwood Prelude is “sharing the joy of music” and judging by the applause and smiles at Prelude concerts, this spirit is being effectively embraced by both audience and musicians!
Marchwood Sinfonia was established in 2017 for intermediate and advanced amateur players in the area to come together to practise and perform clasical music. One of the main aims of the orchestra is to introduce classical music to new audiences across the region through innovative programming and exciting performances. Our approach for rehearsals and concerts is one of enjoymnet and our motto is "we are a friendly chamber orchestra who take our music seriously, but ourselves never!"
Saxophonous
Saxophonous is a group of musicians who enjoy playing saxophone music together and often use their musical talents to raise money for local charities.
- Prelude and Sinfonia hold regular weekly rehearsals
