Following on from the great success of the Wellington Late Starters’ Orchestra, we are delighted that the Rātā Studios Big Band has continued to grow.

Following the same principles, the Big Band is non-auditioned and open to adult players of all levels. Music will be arranged and provided for near beginners and to more advanced levels. This is open to rhythm section players too, so piano, guitar, bass, and drums/percussion, as well as all the usual brass and woodwind, are welcome!

The emphasis will be on enjoying music and learning the principles of playing in a Big Band, without the pressure of getting things right straight away.
