Kerry Chamber Orchestra's members are professional musicians who are resident in Kerry and perform and teach in association with Kerry School of Music. The orchestra is directed by Aidan O' Carroll and performs a wide repertoire from the Baroque to the 20th century often in tandem with the Kerry Chamber Choir. The Orchestra is augmented by Woodwind, Brass and Percussion every January for the Annual Kerry Symphony Orchestra Concert at Siamsa Tire Theatre.
Kerry County Council Steinway D piano will also transfer from its home in Kerry School of Music to the Carnegie Centre for the series of workshops and concerts.
The Chamber Orchestra's Education and Outreach programme which is supported by Kerry County Council has seen introductory workshops in strings and woodwind delivered in schools throughout Kerry over the past several months as well as a programme of high profile concerts in alternative venues such as the O' Connell Memorial Church, Cahersiveen, St. John's Arts Centre, Listowel, Castleisland Library and St. Mary's Church of Ireland, Killarney and Siamsa Tire Theatre, Tralee. The aim of the Education and Outreach programme is to encourage the study of orchestral instruments and to provide regular, high quality performances of chamber and symphonic music throughout the county.
