The Oahu Civic Orchestra was originally founded in 1971 as the
Windward Symphony. The orchestra now includes musicians from all
'walks of life', who live somewhere between Kahuku and Hawaii
Kai. The Oahu Civic Orchestra is a volunteer, community orchestra
which provides the opportunity for amateur musicians to perform
classical, pop, and contemporary music. The mission of the Oahu
Civic Orchestra is to enrich quality of life and culture on Oahu
by providing a nurturing and supportive environment for ALL musicians
to challenge, develop and enjoy their musical skills by regularly
attending rehersals and participating in performances of music
in the community. It is also Chaminade
University's Orchestra in Residence.If you are a student at Chaminade, you can join the OCO and get credit.
Our conductors for this series of concerts are: Roy Yanagida, Ron Hirai, and Wilfred Kusaka.
