Repertoire
The repertoire of Luton Concert Orchestra covers a wide range of musical styles and is intended to appeal to all those whose tastes are broad and who derive enjoyment from good music of all ages. Programmes include popular overtures, suites, marches, waltzes and ballet music by composers such as Auber, Bizet, Delibes, Elgar, Massenet, and Strauss, selections of operettas by Gilbert and Sullivan, Lehar, Offenbach and from more modern musicals as well as suitable light music from composers like Leroy Anderson, Eric Coates and many others.
Concerts
Two concerts are presented in Luton each year at St Margaret's church, Biscot Mill, usually in May and October, which are supported by Luton Arts Council, to which the orchestra is affiliated.
The orchestra has reached a high standard of presentation by careful program selection and rehearsal and everything possible is done to ensure the standard is maintained.
The orchestra is frequently joined by well known amateur singers, choirs and instrumentalists.
Rehearsals
Each concert is preceded by a series of rehearsals, usually five, which are held at the church on Friday evenings from 7:30 till 9:30.
