* denotes members of the VCO Artistic Committee
Interested in joining?
Consisting of predominantly volunteer musicians, the Vicente Chamber Orchestra is highly selective in its membership. While many of our members pursue vocations other than music, each finds the time to practice and rehearse with the Vicente Chamber Orchestra. Rehearsals with the VCO are usually clustered a few weeks before each concert and last 2.5 hours.
If you are interested in joining the orchestra, please send a link to a YouTube video of your solo playing on your instrument (at least 2 minutes long, not edited). This does not need to be a professional recording but should showcase your technical and musical abilities.
Please note that orchestra capacity is limited and we may not be immediately able to consider your application.
Thank you for your interest!
