Concord Chamber Orchestra

Concord Chamber Orchestra

The Concord Chamber Orchestra comprises talented adult volunteers from various professions and all ages from the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. In addition to performing several concerts each year, the orchestra sponsors a concerto competition for Wisconsin youth. The winner performs in a concert with the orchestra and receives a cash prize.

History

The Concord Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1975 out of a hired pit orchestra for musical productions at Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon, Wisconsin. After performing at Concordia University and several other venues for many years, the orchestra made its home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin in 1993 where it continues to play most concerts at St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
