The Orchestra meets once a week for rehearsals in St Michael's Church Hall, William Street, Helensburgh from 10.00 to 12.00 noon from autumn through to spring.

rehearsals

We rehearse on Saturday mornings from September to Easter. We meet at St Michaels Church Hall, William Street, Helensburgh from 10am - 12 noon. The hall is open from 9.30am so there is time to set up. If you want to join us please come along to one of our rehearsals, bring your instrument and a music stand, we will provide the music. We have a range of  percussion instruments to play.

If you would like to talk about playing with us details are on the contacts page. 

We perform 2 concerts a year in Spring - just before Easter and in Winter - at the end of November. 

Variety being the spice of life, we have a varied repertoire. Sometimes we play medleys from musicals and films whilst at other times we play more classical music. We often play music with a parts for beginers and more advanced players so everyone can play at the level they feel most comfortable with. 

Concert News

The Winter Concert at Victoria Halla was a huge success and played to a full house. We played a new piece of music called The Lewis Chess Suite which was writeen by Julian Ward - one of our flute players and arranged for orchestra by Lorna McLaren. St Michaels Church Choir joined us as did Pippa Reid Foster playing the harp.

LoCCO is very grateful to the SCOPS Art Trust (scopsartstrust.org.uk) for their generous grant towards the costs of preparing for such an exciting concert.
