We are HCO

We are a friendly amateur orchestra welcoming audiences and players from across London. 

Since 2016, the Holborn Community Orchestra has been rehearsing and performing in beautiful venues around Holborn in central London.

Our mission is ​to help make music more accessible, to players of all levels and backgrounds and to a diversity of audiences. We keep rehearsal and concert fees low and offer relaxed performances to attract a wide range of people to engage with us and with music.

We play a variety of repertoire, from major works of the baroque, classical, and romantic periods, to lesser-known masterpieces, and new compositions and arrangements by our members.


We look forward to seeing you at our next concert.

Join us

We rehearse on Monday evenings and perform about three concerts per year. We’re also a sociable bunch and make sure to have celebratory gatherings after each of our concerts.

We are a friendly and welcoming orchestra and are always excited to hear from players interested in joining us. Do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
