A community orchestra where young and old, with varying levels of ability, can play together – simply "For the Love of Music!"

Ever dream of playing in an orchestra, but not a professional musician?
The orchestra was founded in 2012 by Karl Langton (late), in honour of his mother. She had dreamed of having a community orchestra where young and old, with varying levels of ability, could play together - simply for the love of music.
Orchestra Conductor, Deb McLoughlin, prepares the group for several performances through the year. The orchestra hosts two concerts (January/May) and joins The Brantford Memorial Concert Band, "Sunday Serenade" in December. Throughout the summer the group has opportunities to perform outdoors (weather permitting) at Harmony Square, Bell Homestead, Paris Lion's Park and senior's residences.
