To The Oscars

From classics to Cinema

La La Land... Lord of the Rings... Pirates of the Caribbean... Star Wars?

The Auckland University Student Chamber Orchestra is excited to bring you our second programme for 2023 in support of Youthline. Join us at St Pauls Church for an unforgettable evening of movie music magic featuring a repertoire of all your favourite film scores and more. Take a nostalgic trip down the path of cinematic history with us!

From Dvořák and Vivaldi to Howard Shore and John Williams - orchestral music can seamlessly convey cinematic emotion and develop a film's character and identity. We hope to showcase this and the childhood joy that film music sparks in all of us!

Don't miss out - buy your tickets for a good cause! All proceeds will be donated to Youthline to help provide support to the many struggles young people face in their day to day life.

About AUSCO:

The Auckland University Student Chamber Orchestra (AUSCO) has been running since 2019 with the goal of bringing students together to perform and bond as a group with like minded interests in classical music and beyond. AUSCO puts on a range of social events like an orchestra camp, dinners, games nights, pub quizzes, and so on for our members. We also have weekly rehearsals leading up to our many orchestral performances throughout the year that our members highlight as the best part of AUSCO. We pride ourselves in creating a fun and enjoyable space for those who predominantly don't study music at University but played instruments all throughout High School.

Our 100% charity concerts are the heart and soul of AUSCO. Each concert importantly donates 100% of all proceeds to a charity of our choice. In Semester 1, 2023 we combined with the Auckland University Student Choir to make our first ever collaborative concert which went in support of the Red Cross Disaster Fund following the Auckland anniversary flooding. With over 200 ticket sales we were extremely grateful to have raised $4,065 for this important cause! In Semester 2 we created a full symphony orchestra, performing "To The Oscars" - with iconic pieces from Star Wars, Studio Ghibli, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dvorak, and so many more. This concert was in support of Youthline and was a raging success, selling out our venue with over 280 people in attendance and raising $4,737 for Youthline. Feel free to watch our entire concert in the video below to get a sense of the calibre and size of our orchestra.
