Many people have heard community orchestras play, and it is easy to be impressed by their overall sound and technical skill if you haven't heard a lot of live music like this before, or if you haven't even really listened to recordings very much, so you're not aware of the musical potential and how it can really sound. That is why some people have such an incredible first experience attending a California Chamber Orchestra concert, since they are a group of the best professionals around. You might just have your mind blown by how beautiful the sounds are, and you might have never thought that a group of those instruments could sound quite like that.

When there are so many other types of music out there, not to mention different ways to listen in which the people creating the music don't get paid nearly as much, it is hard for people who have trained their whole life to play a certain type of music to find work sometimes. This can be incredibly frustrating and limiting as far as what you do with your life and career. That is why it is a great thing that California has this chamber orchestra, so that working musicians from across the state can get into a terrific paid position.

There are generally four concerts that this group holds every year. You will definitely want to check out when those dates are so that you can plan ahead and book your tickets well in advance. You never know how soon things like these are going to sell out, and with their current popularity, the good seats are bound to be gone if you wait around until the last minute, not to mention the chance that something will come up if you don't solidly make these plans as early as possible.

If you're trying to catch one of these shows, the place you are probably looking for would be the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. This is the place where most of these concerts are held. It is very rare that they do shows in other places, but it does happen.

Some people aren't quite sure what distinguishes a chamber orchestra from other ensembles. They may have heard terms like Philharmonic and symphony thrown around, but not know what those are either. Simply put, the latter are both generally larger than the kind of group we are talking about here.

This group is incredibly flexible with what they can play. The earliest type of music they do is early Baroque, and then that goes into Classical. From there, they play all the way into the contemporary styles as well, which can be a surprise for some to hear.

This sometimes makes an ideal romantic date. Whether you are just getting started as a couple or you have been going out for a long time, there is nothing like appreciating beauty together. You might find yourself feeling closer just by sitting next to each other and hearing the amazing sounds.

It is always nice to bring your friends along on this sort of thing. That way, you can all talk about what you thought of the show afterward. This can be a valuable part of appreciating and immersing yourself in the music.
