Sudbury Valley New Horizons Groups
What groups do we have?
Our primary function is to offer a concert band and a string ensemble.
The bands are directed by Diane Muffitt, John McLellan and Linda Murdock, with Dan Foote as percussion coordinator; the beginner classes are taught by John and Diane.
The string orchestra groups are directed by Oliver Chang and Kett Lee, and beginner classes taught by Oliver and Kett.
We also have After-rehearsal Rehearsals that meet after our regular rehearsal (from 8:20-8:50). These groups are optional and meet every other week and include varying opportunities for some more advanced playing and exploration. Possibilities include groups such as: Swing Band, Woodwind Choir, Brass Ensemble, Strings & Winds group, small ensembles, a polka band or a German Um-Pah Band, Klesmer Exploration, Movie and Broadway Song Sight-reading and other possible combinations (offerings vary session to session). No auditions necessary.These groups are for our band and string ensemble members only. There is no extra charge for either group.
Many of our members get together and play ensembles on their own - sometimes after rehearsals, and sometimes at members houses. We sponsor 2 or 3 "Soirée Musicales" which are relaxed, no stress performance opportunities for our members and their friends/family.
Want to sing? Check out our sister group, The Golden Tones, an elder choir which is also part of the New Horizons family.
