Resonance String Orchestra

empowering regional communities to make great music

Resonance is A not-for-profit regional, community, MULTI-TIERED string orchestra PROGRAM.

Open to young people and adults, from BEGINNER to advanced musicians.

Resonance String Orchestra rehearses weekly in Woodend on Monday evenings, within Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, and fortnightly in Castlemaine on Friday evenings. Tuition is provided by four inspiring professional musicians/educators, with inout from our extraordinary Artistic Patron, the acclaimed Zoe Knighton. Each year, the orchestra presents a major public concert as well as a number of smaller performances and projects.

We would like to acknowledge that Resonance rehearses and performs on Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Country, whose ancestors and their descendants are the traditional owners of this Country. We acknowledge that they have been custodians for many thousands of years and continue to perform age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. We acknowledge their living culture and their unique role in the life of this region.

In the words of our members:

“Inspiring, richly rewarding, small orchestra producing big orchestral performances. One of the best things about living in the Macedon Ranges.”

“Resonance brings together musicians in the community and has given me scope to grow as a musician. The creativity and musical experience of the tutors is inspiring and helps me to better understand the repertoire. Resonance is a fantastic community and it means a lot to me to be able to play with my fellow Resonance members.”
