About the Orchestra

Directed by celebrated Australian violinist and concertmaster Sophie Rowell, the MCO is Victoria’s preeminent professional chamber orchestra.

In more than 50 performances each season, the orchestra brings leading Australian musicians together in inspiring programs of uncompromising artistic quality, finesse, and passion.

The MCO’s mainstage season is presented at Melbourne Recital Centre and broadcast on ABC Classic and 3MBS FM. The ensemble also hosts A Feast of Music, an annual spring chamber music festival in Daylesford, as well as a range of chamber programs that tour extensively across Victoria and beyond.
