About KCO
Kensington Chamber Orchestra was established in
1936 as the Informal Chamber Orchestra, and is a
registered charity, funded by members'
subscriptions and ticket sales, and from time to
time also raises money for other charitable
causes.
We provide opportunities for musicians to
rehearse and perform a wide range of classical
music to a high standard. We also offer a platform
for young soloists to help them establish their
careers, and guest-slots to provide young
conductors with valuable experience.
Our focus is on serious amateur music making in a
sociable and friendly environment.
Many of the orchestra's players are keen chamber
musicians, and a number make an annual trip to
Prussia Cove, home of the International Musicians
Seminar near Penzance, providing an opportunity to
play chamber music in a relaxing and beautiful
environment.
