More activities to come! No final costs yet, however it is a ‘PAY YOUR OWN WAY’ tour. We have a base of 20 musicians going so far and looking at a 45-50 piece orchestra overall. We are a ‘Pops’ type orchestra playing many different genres to suit most tastes at concerts. All positions are open at this stage.

Vale James Valentine
The Clarence Valley Orchestra & Chorus is deeply saddened by the passing of Australian broadcasting legend and brilliant saxophonist, James Valentine.

Many in our community will fondly remember the magic James brought to our stage in 2023 when he joined us for our 'Afternoon at the Pops'. Beyond the unmistakable voice, sharp wit, and deep humanity that his radio listeners loved for decades, James was a musician to his core.

Sharing the stage with him was an absolute privilege. His saxophone playing was infused with the same warmth, cheeky humour, and genuine connection that defined his entire life and career. He didn't just perform for the audience; he connected deeply with the entire orchestra, bringing an infectious, swinging energy to the Pops repertoire that lifted the room and made the afternoon truly unforgettable.

The Australian media landscape has lost a giant, and the musical community has lost a wonderful friend. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Joanne, his children, Ruby and Roy, and the countless fans and colleagues mourning his loss.

The music may have paused, but his vibrant spirit and the beautiful melodies we shared will echo in our hearts forever.

Thank you for the music and the laughs, James.
