About the Orchestra

Lomond & Clyde Community Orchestra was formed as the Helensburgh Saturday Orchestra in 1977. It was established by a group of musicians in the town to provide a platform for players of all ages to come together and make music and also to give beginner players a taste of orchestral playing.

The ethos of the orchestra is to make music accessible to anyone and everyone. Therefore we aim to secure funding from a range of sources to keep costs to members low. We employ both a professional conductor and music tutors. The orchestra is run by a committee of volunteers and we are always looking for helpers! 

Parents play an important role in supporting the Orchestra. They can have a say in how the Orchestra is run by being on the Committee, and can help  with refreshments at the Saturday rehearsals and at concerts.
