Curious Rendition Orchestra (CROW)
Led by David Rooney and Mark Holder-Keeping. The Curious Rendition Orchestra or CROW was conceived in 2014 with a mission to offer a Con Artists style ensemble at a slower pace for inexperienced adult musicians and comeback players. Since then CROW has developed an unique identify all of its own. The band has appeared at Coledale Markets, Red Poiont Artists 'Art on The Grass', Jam n Bread, The Illawarra Folk Festival, Viva La Gong, HONK! Oz Festival of Street Music and the Perisher Peak Music Festival.

Interested in Joining?
Curious Rendition Orchestra of Wollongong, or CROW is for Adults (post secondary school age). We welcome inexperienced players with basic skills and look forward to helping you play in an ensemble. If you have never played in an ensemble before this is a good place to start. All welcome, but probably do need to have some basic skills on your instrument first and some understanding of musical notation. Many of the adults in CROW have learnt an instrument for the first time as an adult. Others played for a time during their school years and then let it slide. CROW is an opportunity to bring your musical side back from the brink.
The following instruments are currently part of Curious Rendition Orchestra line-up: accordion, guitar, flute, clarinet, violin, saxophones, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, bass, piano, percussion.
