Philadelphia
Community
Orchestra

The Philadelphia Community Orchestra (PCO) is an eclectic instrumental ensemble open to all ages (participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult) and skill levels—no previous musical experience is required. 

PCO focuses on experimental, improvised, and alternative music-making. Repertoire includes rare and underperformed music of the past, graphic and text scores, group improvisations, and works specifically composed for PCO. 

The only requirements for prospective members are that they bring their own instrument, commit to regularly attending rehearsals, and foster a collaborative spirit and open mind (there is no audition!). 

Save the Date: Our next concert will be December 17th, 2025 at 7 pm! More info to come.
