Our Mission:
Pacific Chamber Orchestra (PCO) is now in its 29th season, is a regional professional ensemble dedicated to sustaining and extending the rich heritage of classical music for chamber orchestra through inspiring performances and engaging educational programs.
About Us:
The musicians of PCO, under the avid direction of founding Music Director Lawrence Kohl, have performed in the San Francisco Symphony, Opera, Ballet, Theater Orchestras, and at Skywalker Sound Studios. PCO musicians are recording artists, tour internationally in chamber music groups, and make guest appearances as concerto soloists. PCO is mid-sized ensemble whose unique sound blends the intimate clarity of the small chamber music group with the sonic power of a large symphony orchestra. PCO is a resident company of Livermore’s Bankhead Theater and holds a concert series in Lamorinda. Educational programs include elementary in-school assemblies that introduce and teach basic music fundamentals, clinics for middle and high school students, and full orchestra school day matinee performances. Videos about PCO and the education programs can be seen on our website at www.pacificchamberorchestra.org
