Ad-Hoc Groups
Beyond large ensembles!
If you feel there is something missing from the ChaOS ensemble list, then there are opportunities to start new ensembles! The constitution provides guidance on forming new ensembles within ChaOS.
Our members are welcome to start an 'Ad-Hoc' ensemble at any time of the year, provided they have enough interest from current ChaOS members. Typically a representative of the suggested 'Ad-Hoc' can request to present the proposal during a committee meeting. The committee will then vote on the idea and, if approved, provide support in setting up the new ensemble.
'Ad-Hoc' ensembles do not receive financial support from ChaOS and are not supported by the SU. Should an 'Ad-Hoc' ensemble become popular during the year, they may be promoted to 'supported' status by a two-thirds majority vote by the current committee.
If you are interested in starting an 'Ad-Hoc' ensemble, feel free to contact us by email: su-chaos@bath.ac.uk
Current 'Ad-Hoc' Ensembles
Clarinet Choir aims to provide more opportunities to clarinet players within the society. All clarinettists are welcome to join, regardless of experience, with repertoire chosen to suit the tastes and abilities of members.
Unfortunately Clarinet Choir is not currently running this year. If you are interested in becoming the conductor of this group, please contact us!
13:30 - 14:30 in the Ensemble Room - The Edge
Baroque Ensemble is a group of musicians who love to play and learn about the Baroque period (1600-1750). We aim to play and perform a variety of composers, some well-known such as Vivaldi and Bach, and some lesser known such as Rameau and Scarlatti. Examples of previous repertoire played include "Les Nations" by Telleman, "Les Saucages" by Rameau and the Vivaldi 2 Violin Concerto in A minor.
Everyone is welcome to play and listen. Specifically, we are looking for strings, winds and pianists. We rehearse from 13:30-14:30 on Wednesdays. Come and tag along - exciting music will be played this year!
18:00 - 19:00 in the Ensemble Room - The Edge
Chamber Orchestra aims to give players an opportunity to play chamber music, scored for fewer players to a part vs. what our University of Bath Orchestra covers. We play a range of music, mainly from the baroque and classical periods. Previous repertoire has included Mozart Symphony No. 40, Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, and Schubert Symphony No. 5.
Currently we are welcoming: string instruments, flutes, oboes, bassoons, clarinets and french horns. We rehearse at 18:00-19:00 on Wednesdays, just before Orchestra. Hope to see many of you there!
