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.
