Chamber Music Concert

Our popular Chamber Music concert returns with another eclectic programme of solos, duets, trios, quartets and ensembles played by members and friends of the Glasgow Chamber Orchestra.


This is a chance for the orchestra to let its hair down, and has proved to be a great success in previous years.  There will be some refreshments available at the interval, and tickets are priced at just £5, payable at the door on the night.   An evening not to be missed.

Music for a Summer’s Evening

GCO in Choral Mode

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Kelvin Choir concert on Sunday 14 May, in Hyndland Parish Church.  A reduced orchestra (strings, single wind and timps) accompanied the Choir in Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, while the strings provided the backing to Vaughan William’s Five Mystical Songs.   The programme was warmly received by a very appreciative audience.
