Rhodes Orchestra

Rhodes bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台 Orchestra (RUO)

Since 2015, the Rhodes Orchestra has presented one annual symphonic performance in the Guy Butler Hall, Settlers Monument, Makhanda (Grahamstown). Student musicians are flanked by professional performers during rehearsal and the performance, thereby gaining invaluable professional input and guidance throughout the event. The concert programmes showcase the Music Department’s orchestral and vocal students in selected excerpts from Classical repertoire. A priority for each performance is the presentation of a South African composer.

In 2019, Rhodes bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台 collaborated with Free State bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台 in a mass orchestra consisting of the FSYO and RUO.
