Major personnel

Trevor Moore (President)

Born in Dungog, Trevor spent his early working life as a Public Servant in NSW, PNG and Canberra. He subsequently established a consulting business assisting companies to receive grants and other benefits from the Commonwealth Government. He moved to the Central Coast in 2002 and decided to learn singing. Despite his father being an accomplished tenor and choral conductor, Trevor modestly hides in the basses, only emerging when some organising or administrative skills are wanted. He is married with 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren.
 

Philip Rees OAM (Musical Director)

Born in Rockhampton, Philip commenced piano lessons at the age of eight and later studied with Gordon Watson at the Sydney Conservatorium. Since moving to the Central Coast he has been a regular performer with the Central Coast Philharmonia as associate conductor. He has also had a long association both as conductor and as trombonist with the orchestra of the Central Coast Conservatorium (which has now merged into the Central Coast Symphony Orchestra). Philip is particularly interested in choral music and in music for the young at heart. He currently directs the Junior Training Orchestra of the Central Coast Conservatorium and is busy writing and publishing music for young musicians.
 

History of the society

The Gosford Philharmonia had its origins in a group of instrumentalists brought together in Gosford to form an orchestra in 1962 and a choir that was formed in 1963, when the Gosford Orchestral and Choral Society gave the first of its regular performances of Handel’s Messiah. The society was incorporated as today's Gosford Philharmonia in 1989. In its forty years, the society's orchestra and choir have performed much of the better-known orchestral and choral repertoire as well as many lesser-known works.

In February 2007, the name was changed to the Central Coast Philharmonia to better represent the area that it serves.
