Blue Ridge Chamber
Orchestra
Charlottesville's
community string ensemble since 1988
|
The Blue Ridge Chamber Orchestra is a classical string ensemble of roughly two dozen musicians who love playing and performing, and who seek the camaraderie of others who share this vocation. For two decades, the BRCO has provided this opportunity. Orchestra members include adult musicians of all ages from Charlottesville and surrounding central Virginia. Our membership includes local music teachers and semiprofessional performers, veterans of high school and college orchestras, and advanced/intermediate adult learners. We try to increase local interest in chamber and orchestral music through our concerts, normally free to the public. Our two or three programs each year have featured local musicians as soloists, and music by local composers. As a dynamic community organization, we
are always open to adding new members, subject to balance in the
sections. Please contact us if you are interested in joining. We
rehearse on most Monday evenings during the academic year at
Charlottesville Friends Meeting, 1104 Forest Street, in central
Charlottesville. Spring
