Glasgow Chamber Orchestra
The Glasgow Chamber Orchestra is an amateur orchestra based in Glasgow, and has been making music here for over 50 years. We give 3 main
concerts each year, usually in March, May and November. You can find out lots more about the orchestra and its music in the pages of this web-
site. Hopefully, you will be encouraged to come along to a concert, or if you are a musician, you may be interested in joining us.
We invite you to browse through the site, and if you need more information, there is a Contacts Page so that you can get in touch.
Rehearsals continue to go well, and as we
move into October, we will be having our
first rehearsal with our soloist, Victor
Pevernagie, on Tuesday 8 October, so
something special to look forward to!
An expanded rehearsal schedule is
available on the Members page or by
