Ambleside Orchestra

Ambleside Orchestra is the North Shore's community orchestra. Musicians ranging in age from 12 to their 80s rehearse once a week to prepare for four Mainstage Performances, as well as a number of community events and a smaller chamber concert. Intermediate to advanced string players are always welcome, and advanced wind and brass musicians join by invitation when a vacancy occurs. Nicolas Krusek, our Music Director, skillfully leads the orchestra through the classical repertoire, and is widely known for his entertaining and informative introductions. Ambleside Orchestra offers awards and scholarships to young musicians in recognition of their musicianship and their contributions to the orchestra.
