About the Orchestra
The Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra is a musician-led orchestra founded in 2021 that provides a vibrant concert experience via orchestral and chamber music from a wide array of musical eras. Located in Allentown, PA, we offer a variety of orchestral literature, collaborations, and commissions. Comprised of talented musicians in the Eastern Pennsylvania area and beyond, LVCO strives to provide an enriching experience to our listeners as we contribute to the wonderful arts of the Lehigh Valley. LVCO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Why Our Music Matters
Any musician you ask would have a myriad of answers as to how music has inspired them and positively impacted their lives. We strive to pass on this inspiration to our audiences.
What makes Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra unique?
LVCO is a completely musician-run orchestra. As a result, our orchestra members have a hand in our rehearsing, the repertoire we perform, and running the group as a non-profit organization. As a chamber orchestra, we are looking to stretch the boundaries regarding what our concerts feature. Aside from traditional orchestra works, we integrate chamber music, or music for small ensembles, featuring sections of our orchestra that complement the full concert program. Therefore, our concerts often include pieces such as string ensembles, various chamber music works for winds, etc. In addition, aside from traditional repertoire, we also strive to program wonderful works from underrepresented composers within each season.
LVCO is proud to call the Lehigh Valley home!
