Virtual Rehearsal
Christmas Update!
Our Virtual Rehearsals, held over Zoom,
have been a great success, and thanks must
go to our conductor Robert Baxter for his
enthusiastic and insightful leadership.
To round off the session, we now propose to
hold an informal Virtual Concert on
Tuesday 8 December! The idea is, roughly,
that the first half will comprise solo
performances by members, while the
second half will be given over to a
performance of Beethoven’s 1st Symphony.
This latter will be led by Robert, with
members playing their individual parts
along with a recording of the symphony
which Robert will chose and broadcast.
The evening will kick off at 7.30pm, and
details of the Zoom login will be sent out
beforehand. Details of pieces that
members would like to play should be
emailed to Wendy so that a programme can
be put together.
The Glasgow Chamber Orchestra
is an amateur orchestra based in
Glasgow, and has been making
music here for over 50 years. We
give 3 main concerts each year in
March, June and November.
You can find out lots more about
the orchestra and its music in
the pages of this web-site.
Hopefully, you will be
encouraged to come along to a
concert, or if you are a musician,
you may be interested in joining
us.
We invite you to browse through
the site, and if you need more
information, there is a Contacts
Page so that you can get in
touch.
The GCO is always on the
look-out for new players.

Did you know that you could become a
Sponsor of the GCO ? Both Individual
and Business sponsorship opportunities
exist to support your orchestra. Click

our new Sponsorship Schemes!
With our Christmas concerts cancelled, and our Spring concert
very much in the balance, the Committee is busy planning
ahead for a programme of rehearsals to start in the new year.
We will commence with zoom rehearsals led by Robert Baxter,
on the same basis as this session, with the first of these being
on Tuesday 12 January. Details of which orchestra sections are
involved each night, and the programme to be played, will be
issued in due course.

Christmas & New Year
Greetings from the GCO
The GCO extends its very best Christmas
and New Year wishes to all its members
friends and supporters.
Sadly, the festive season will surely feel
bitter sweet this year, with the absence
of so much wonderful live music
making, concerts and carol singing.
Hopefully, however, with new vacccines
on the horizon, we can look forward
with great anticipation to the return of
concerts, perhaps in the spring, but
surely by the summer. Until then, keep
safe, keep your spirits up and to our
members - keep practising!
