About Us
The Corinthian Chamber Orchestra was formed in 1995 under the musical direction of the late Alan Hazeldine. Since then it has developed into one of the best orchestras of its kind in London. Its membership includes some of the best amateur players available.
The orchestra promotes six of its own concerts per year and also plays in concerts promoted by other organisations. It has performed charity concerts in aid of Cancer Research UK, the North London Hospice, Youth At Risk and The Refugee Council.
The CCO's high standards are maintained by an insistence on thorough preparation and a professional attitude to performance. The orchestra runs six concentrated three-hour rehearsal sessions in the period prior to each concert.
One of the aims of the orchestra is to provide valuable opportunities for young concerto soloists to perform with an orchestra of a very high standard. You can find information on the many musicians who have worked with the orchestra on the soloists page of this site.
The Corinthian Chamber Orchestra is a non-profit making organisation, and is registered as a charity in the UK. It is dependent upon sponsorship and donations for its continuing survival and development.
