AYS

In 1993 a training orchestra for younger and less experienced players was  established. It is available for young instrumentalists from about Grade 3 level and up, with some members achieving Grade 7 or 8.

The members consist mainly of primary and intermediate aged players (9 to 13+ years) with a few secondary school aged musicians. This  group provides the basics in ensemble playing and the Music Director is Steven Rapana with Nicola Walton as the Assistant MD.

The Sinfonietta's program is  less ambitious than  that of the AYS, focusing on developing group playing skills, with usually 3 concerts given during the year.

New members are always welcome, the Sinfonietta practices on Tuesdays during school terms between 4:30p.m. and 6:00p.m. at Selwyn Village in West Auckland.  Please contact us for details of how to get to the hall.
