The World Civic Orchestra
Who are we?
The World Civic Orchestra is an amateur festival orchestra with people from around the globe to celebrate the world through music. We have over 250 registered members representing 19 countries with over 80 musicians performing on stage at any given annual concert in various cities of the world.
The Festival
The WCO hosts its festival once a year. The festival is one week long, and filled with community building and rehearsals. The week ends with a culminating performance in our host city.
The WCO Festival is hosted in a different city each year, allowing for further worldly exploration for our members. Members will experience full days of rehearsals on an excellent mix of standard orchestral repertoire, culturally significant music, new music for orchestra, and concerti featuring world class soloists.
Why is there a need for a World Civic Orchestra?
In its unique composition of players, the WCO aims to bridge gaps amongst its musicians through the churns of the artistic process. By bringing players of the world together, the WCO hopes to encourage understanding amongst players, and then beyond the concert hall to the rest of the world through various media.
