Coda Fiddle Orchestra

Director - Jack Maguire A.R.A.M
Honorary Patron - Nigel Kennedy

 

Coda Fiddle Orchestra

Coda Fiddle Orchestra is a participatory community music project that works with children and young people - and their families - predominantly from West Boscombe. It offers violin tuition and ensemble opportunities – through the Fiddle Orchestra - for those aged 6 to 16 from a deprived area of Bournemouth (Boscombe). It is run by Jack Maguire, former co-leader of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. It has been running since 2004 and is now evolving to include traditional, folk and popular music with improvisation and technology.

Where does it happen?

Every Saturday at St. Clement's Church, Boscombe. In addition, there are a number of both individual and group coaching sessions at both St.Clement’s and Bethany Junior School. Plus there are a number of exciting performance opportunities which take place throughout the year.

Fiddlers (all ages and standards), guitarists, bass guitarists, accordionists and keyboard players are all welcome!

Coda Fiddle Orchestra also welcomes volunteers who might help with administration, preparing refreshments, concert and events support and technical help.
