Regional Music Education & Performance for over 30 years
The Orange Regional Conservatorium provides high quality, diverse and inclusive music education across all ages and skill levels. We offer individual and group lessons, ensembles and choirs for every member of the community, workshops, masterclasses, professional development and more.
The ORC also presents a high quality program of concerts and events each year featuring local, national and international performers.
The Orange Regional Conservatorium acknowledges the Wiradjuri as traditional custodians of the land on which the Conservatorium stands and honours our First Nations by fostering a shared sense of belonging for all Australians.
We acknowledge that our music-making takes place on ancient lands, where First Nations artists have sung, danced and told stories for thousands of generations. We believe in the power of music to share truth, and we understand our responsibility to listen.
In this spirit, the ORC Management Committee embrace the Uluru Statement from the Heart and its invitation for all Australians to walk together.
