Thanks for your interest in the Newbie Adult CHamber Orchestra (NACHO)™ ***********************************************************
***********************************************************
Become a memberWe bring adults of all ages together who now have the time to pursue music and wish to learn an instrument or may have played an instrument several decades ago and now wish to re-awaken that enjoyment. At NACHO meetings you will learn how to follow the direction of a conductor and learn how an orchestra works together from sheet music and other materials. NACHO is a social orchestra, we do not rehearse for performances. We get together to play and talk about our collective musical learning efforts, share experience and just have a really good time…NACHO members must be able to laugh at mistakes. NACHO is also a Group Member of the New Horizons International Music Association (www.newhorizonsmusic.org). New Horizons programs encourage adults of all ages to participate in music.
