Conductor : Arthur H. Lilienthal President: Andrea Kennel
Rehearsal location: At the moment we have our rehersals in Singsaal Stägenbuck or in the Innovationspark. After Corona we will be IMWIL, Fällandenstrasse 22, 8600 Dübendorf.
Twice a year, the orchestra presents a new programme of classical music to the public. The concerts, which are supported by the Kulturkommision Dübendorf, usually take place in the Church Wil in Dübendorf. When the opportunity arises, further concerts are also held outside Dübendorf.
If you are interested in playing along, please get in touch.
You are also welcome to listen in on a rehearsal (by appointment).
Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening outside the school holidays. With a musically busy weekend and additional rehearsals, the orchestra tries to prepare optimally for a concert.
The good fellowship among each other - as a prerequisite for harmonious music-making - is promoted by sporadic social events.
