Our soloists have chosen outstanding concertos, and of course our Young Artist Winner winner will add a surprise in May! The PCO is a wonderful group of very talented musicians who excel at expressing the music in everything they play. Come and share the music, the excitement, and the energy of the PCO!

Our Experience Working with PCO

Our family’s experience with the Pasadena Community Orchestra was really lovely. They run a very well organized Young Artist competition, which my son participated in two years in a row and had the honor of winning this year. The conductor and other judges are very supportive during the competition itself, which is so important in developing young artists’ confidence. Even the year my son did not win, he received a personal email from the conductor with specific feedback about his audition. He looked forward to returning and was thrilled to win this year.
