The orchestra, one of the longest running orchestras in the country, has a complement of approximately 30 active members who get together weekly. The orchestra includes two accomplished professional musicians in Charl van der Merwe as Resident Conductor and Jitske Brien as Concert Master.

The programme comprises a carefully chosen eclectic programme. One movement will be played from four different concertos: the second movement of Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G Minor’; the first movement of Haydn Trumpet Concerto; the second movement of Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto; and the third movement of Weber’s Clarinet Concerto.

The DCO is supported by Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra.
