Photographs from the Past

The following photos show just a few moments from the orchestra's past.

Ivars Taurins
In the early 1980s, before he became famous as conductor of the Tafelmusik Choir, Ivars Taurins conducted what was then the Fanshawe Community Orchestra for two years.
Erna Van Daele
A few years later Erna Van Daele became our conductor, shown here rehearsing the orchestra. Also shown in this picture are, from left to right, Jim and Margaret Whitby, Arnold McKee, Christine Ong, and Peter Rechnitzer - all still members of our orchestra as of 2004.
