Manitoba Chamber Orchestra

Get on the Map

The Manitoba Chamber Orchestra is a leader among Canadian chamber orchestras. Established in 1972, the MCO presents an annual concert series in Winnipeg and rich community engagement across Manitoba. Our concert series features guest soloists from Paris to Caracas to right here at home, and we perform everything from traditional treasures to thrilling new premieres that push forward Canadian music. We’re deeply committed to dismantling barriers for participation in music and to creating meaningful experiences with the orchestra for audiences from all walks of life.
Our mandate is to foster and perform an open, evolving orchestral tradition at the highest artistic level to enrich and inspire audiences in Manitoba, Canada, and internationally. We tour widely, commission often, embrace a diverse repertoire, and energetically collaborate with artists from a range of disciplines and traditions.
