About our elementary school assemblies

Each year a PCO quintet of Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet Violin and Cello offers educational assemblies for the elementary school. We often receive wonderful drawings and letters. Here are two from 1st graders!

2023 sponsors supporting assemblies include: Livermore Commission for the Arts, City of Pleasanton, City of Hayward and the Orinda Park and Recreation Foundation. Click here to learn more about PCO’s educational programs. 

Review of March 18 & 19 "Passionate" Concerts

“What a treat it was! Miraculously the Pacific Chamber Orchestra only gets better each year – more precise and more lush in its interpretations of thrilling music and more emotionally enveloping.

Last weekend’s concert was an unusual and totally successful pairing of the baroque with the tango! In both halves of the program a quartet of violins outdid themselves. You could not help but be swept along almost the whole range of that instrument, at times with dazzling speed and always with intonation that vibrated in your entire body. An additional treat was hearing the oboe d’amore, an enchanting instrument hauntingly played.

Bravi to all, and especially to the music director, Lawrence Kohl, for leading this very precious asset in the Bay Area arts treasure chest.”
