The aim of the Central Coast
Philharmonia is to contribute to the community by encouraging people of all
ages to sing choral music and to enhance their musical skills and enjoyment
by participating in public performances with our musical associates. We do
this by maintaining a viable choir and orchestra. We usually give three performances per year in our own right. We also
enjoy performing at concerts arranged by others where they help the
community. |

Our choir consists of between 50 and 70
members of all ages and abilities, and our performances range from very
serious to quite light. We have the privilege of having an orchestra of
professional players and a professional conductor. Our audiences range from
150 to about 400.
The Central Coast Philharmonia choir rehearses on Monday nights at the
Central Coast Conservatorium at 45 Mann St, Gosford in a very friendly
atmosphere. New members are always welcome, no auditions necessary,
but you will be required to learn your part and sing in tune. If
you are interested, contact our president, Trevor Moore, on 4368 4364. |

W e are
privileged to have the patronage of Peter Sculthorpe, AO, OBE, who is
probably Australia's foremost composer. He has written works in most
musical forms, and his output relates easily to the unique social
climate and physical characteristics of Australia. Furthermore, his
country's geographical position has caused him to be influenced by much
of the music of Asia, especially that of Japan and Indonesia. Certainly
he is Australia's best-known composer, and his works are regularly
performed and recorded throughout the world. |
