CCO logo Cambridge Concert Orchestra
Registered Charity no. 263524

We are an amateur orchestra in Cambridge (UK) specialising in light music with regular concerts throughout the year.

We try to vary our concert venues in order to provide entertainment for those who rarely get the chance to hear live music in the Cambridge area, by visiting churches, community centres, etc. Most of our concerts are fundraising events in association with other charities.

Our President is Brian Kay.

Future concerts

Saturday 17th March 2012

In Burwell.

Saturday 26th May 2012

We are always eager to play in new venues and we are now taking bookings for next year. If you would like to arrange a concert please email our Concert Manager at concerts@cambridgeconcertorchestra.org.

Vacancies

We are particularly keen to hear from local cellists and horn players. We have a healthy membership in most other sections (our woodwind section is full), but there are vacancies. For information on joining please email vacancies@cambridgeconcertorchestra.org.



This term's repertoire

You can get a sense of what we play by glancing through the music we have in our pads presently. Some of this will show up in our forthcoming concerts and some pieces are just there because we enjoy playing them in rehearsals.
