OCT Ensemble
CURATED PERFORMANCES AND COLLABORATIONS THAT EXCITE OUR COMMUNITY
OCT Ensemble is flexible group of professional musicians who play with other orchestras in the Orchestras Central family and beyond. With a depth of knowledge and experience these musicians also provide coaching and workshop sessions for our youth and community players to help develop the Orchestras Central 'ecosystem'.
OCT Ensemble explores diverse methods of music creation - blending art forms, pushing boundaries, and providing unique musical experiences that captivate audiences and strengthen our connections across the broader community.
Performances and collaborations have included:
Of People & Places – a unique experimental chamber music show combining spoken word and projected imagery to bring to life the people and places that inspired the music
He Pu, He Puoro, He Purakau – a seed, an instrument, a story, combining the world of taonga puoro with the traditions of the orchestra, featuring Horomona Horo and Jeremy Mayall
Continued collaboration with the University of Waikato, performing new works by emerging composers
