Orchestra
The Mount Anville Orchestra are an enthusiastic and talented group of musicians that meet on Wednesday and Friday mornings for rehearsals.
They cover a wide variety of repertoire such as Classical, Movie Themes, Christmas, and Popular music.
As well as being an enjoyable hobby the Orchestra is also a great way for students to improve their music theory and sight reading. It gives students first-hand experience of how an orchestra works and what it is like to be part of a team of musicians. The orchestra plays at various school events throughout the year.

Chamber Music
Chamber Music gives musicians the opportunity to develop musical independence while playing in a duo, trio, quartet, or larger ensemble. All instruments are welcome.
Ensembles range from a string or wind quartet or trio, to a mixed string and wind ensemble. Smaller groups are decided on depending on the age and playing level of individual musicians, while larger chamber groups attempt to get students of all ages and abilities playing together. This is particularly beneficial for younger students as they learn from the more experienced musicians.
Students may audition for The Confido Quartet at the beginning of the school year. All other chamber groups do not require an audition.
New members are welcome at any time!
