Taharoto Symphony Orchestra is directed by Fleur Knowles and rehearses on Wednesday mornings during the late start. Like our other instrumental groups, Taharoto orchestra are preparing for the annual Auckland Festival KBB, which runs during August for musicians from all the Auckland secondary schools.
Last week, the orchestra worked with professional players from the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra – one tutor from the strings, woodwind, brass and percussion sections of the orchestra. Our young musicians (many of whom are beginners) learnt a lot of new musical skills from the input of the professionals, and are making excellent progress.
