The Broken Hill orchestra plus musicians from around NSW performed at Albert Hall in Tibooburra in June 2008. The orchestra was led by Mark Walton, one of Australia's leading clarinet and saxophone teachers, for a great outback concert.

About the orchestra

The orchestra (BHCO) practices in Broken Hill , in outback NSW, each Tuesday night, except during Christmas Holidays, at the BIU Band Hall in Beryl Street off Iodide Street. Practices begin at 7.30pm and visitors are welcome to come and join us while in Broken Hill.

The orchestra plays a wide range of music including classical and well-known popular music. As is the case with many other community orchestras, BHCO consists of a string section, woodwind section, brass section and percussion section.

Activities

We perform at several concerts each year, usually including a Spring concert and the Broken Hill Proms concert. Each year BHCO usually hosts one or more workshops with visiting tutors. We also have social get-togethers on occasions.
