Resident Orchestra of the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre
The Limestone Coast Symphony Orchestra formed in 2013 to provide opportunities for musicians in our community to participate in an exciting orchestral experience. Each year we provide high quality musical performances to audiences in the Limestone Coast region.
Our musicians range from dedicated music students to professional musicians who meet regularly throughout the ten-week rehearsal period, in the lead up to our seasonal performances.
Our orchestra also offers a platform for local soloists, choristers and composers to launch and showcase their musical talent and creative passion.
From Our Patrons
Stan Thomson
Former South East ABC Radio Host
I’ve watched them add strings to their bows, beat their own drum and blow their own trumpets, and I have also seen the region they aim to serve swell with a sense of pride. Other regions wonder just how we did it... i.e. have our own symphony orchestra, well look at and listen to the creativity of the musicians and the committee and you’ll find the answer. Will we see you at our next concert? We would enjoy your support.
