The West Coast School of Chamber Music
Teifi Chamber Orchestra is a group of local musicians with a passionate interest in orchestral chamber music. The group meets every week to study in depth, with coach/conductor Nicola Thomas, some of the works of the great composers from the Baroque, Classical and Early Romantic periods, as well as contemporary works by Welsh composers.
The Orchestra was founded in October 2004 and is a legally constituted voluntary organisation.
In January 2005 T.C.O. engaged the professional services of music director Nicola Thomas, herself a resident of the area. Nicola is a professional cellist with the Archduke Piano Trio of London, as well as a highly regarded and inspired chamber musician who has worked with some of the world's foremost ensembles and orchestras. Nicola brings a wealth of professional experience to the orchestra every week which is reflected in the playing.
The orchestra has developed an advanced chamber music project - in collaboration with the Archduke Piano Trio of London and the owners of Rhosygilwen Centre for the Arts - sponsored by the Arts Council of Wales and local county councils. This annual summer school takes place every year in August, applications are open from January - May 2008, limited places are available.
Teifi Chamber Orchestra also welcomes interested new members, please see events page for further details on how to join, or for information on term timetables and concerts.
