What Our Members Say...
Like Minded Musicians
The Toowoomba Orchestra provides a space for me to continue my joy of playing with other like minded musicians.I highly recommend joining this orchestra to anyone who loves music.
A Place to Grow Musically
The TCO has provided me with a platform to improve my skills and perform in front of an audience. The encouragement from fellow members and the committee is truly motivating.
Why I enjoy being part of the TCO
TCO is a very welcoming orchestra and has provided me with many opportunities to develop my playing as an oboist. I really enjoy the camaraderie of the musicians around me and the musicianship. It's fun playing serious and not so serious repertoire and to experience live music in real surround sound.
