The Golden Gate Radio Orchestra

More than a Music Show; a Memorable Musical Experience!

The Golden Gate Radio Orchestra entertains today's audiences with the best music of yesterday. It is a 19-piece recreation of the versatile radio station or network "house orchestra", with the full-bodied sound of violins, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and vocalists. It exists because of the passion of its members for the tuneful music that these orchestras played every day. The time period, and the Orchestra's capabilities, range from the 1890's to the Big Band era.

Director Peter Weiglin brings to each program the benefit of more than 25 years in music, broadcasting and historical research. The programs are tied together by expert narration and audience involvement, sometimes tongue-in-cheek and sometimes serious; reminding us that regardless of the advances of society, in many ways people were not that different in our grandparents' day.

Concerts are performed throughout the year in various locations, including a benefit gala at Crystal Springs Church.
