“Orchestra Wellington’s large following is a well-deserved result of innovative programming, quality performances and a good deal of community outreach.”
“…brilliantly virtuosic.”
“Orchestra Wellington has earned a special niche for itself amid the welter of artistic activities supported by the capital, one that’s steadily developed over the years of Marc Taddei’s tenure as Music Director, and in recent times enjoyed obvious fruition in terms of its enthusiastic audience following. Its appeal is based on several factors, not the least of which is the unflagging wholeheartedness and enthusiasm of conductor Taddei for whatever he’s presently engaged in doing with his players, and the ensemble’s remarkable development in playing standards over the duration.”

“Technically the Orchestra Wellington strings played with astounding precision… What a concert – yet for all that it must have challenged the nearly 2000 present, it was clapped to the echo, and rightly so.”
