HCO’s 40th Season!

The 2022-2023 season marks Heights Chamber Orchestra’s 40th year and we ask for your support to help us continue our free-admission concerts for Northeast Ohio music lovers. Founded in 1983, the present orchestra includes approximately 50 professional and talented amateur musicians, many of whom are graduates of Heights High School. Through the generosity of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Board of Education we are granted rehearsal space at the high school, but we must cover all other operational costs through support from patrons, grants, benefits, orchestra members and area advertisers such as you.

The orchestra programs a balance of classical standards and contemporary works, and our mission is to encourage the importance of good music in individual and community life.
