The New Orleans Civic Symphony

Our holiday break is drawing to a close and the New Orleans Civic Symphony will begin regular rehearsals again on Monday the 23rd, 7:30pm at the UNO Performing Arts Center.  We have two performances remaining this concert season.

Do you play a musical instrument, or have you in the past?  Now is a perfect time to consider joining the orchestra – The New Orleans Civic Symphony is a great place to meet new people and make music with other enthusiastic amateur musicians.  String players are especially sought after to help us fill out our ensemble.  Contact one of our conductors or orchestra members for more information if you’d like to sit in with us at a rehearsal!

Have a safe and happy 2012 - we look forward to seeing you at our future performances!

On Monday, the orchestra performed a winter concert featuring a variety of dance music at the University of New Orleans Performing Arts Center.  The group will be repeat the program on Wednesday December 14 at St Matthew’s Methodist Church in Metaire.

Our lovely bassonists, Deborah and Jenna, warm up before Monday’s performance.
