2022-23 SEASON

This past June the Portland Community Orchestra presented its first concert since March 2020, emerging from two years of lockdown and many months without opportunities to see, hear or perform in-person live music. The concert featured music by Telemann, Albinoni, and Sibelius, as well as works by Ukrainian composers Mykola Lysenko, Wassyl Barwinskyj and Mykola Leontovych, with our concert revenues being donated to Ukrainian relief efforts. We are very excited to be planning our next season, and look forward to seeing you as a new PCO member, or as an enthusiastic audience member and supporter of the orchestra's goals and mission. For more information about the PCO's upcoming season, see our Performance Schedule.

REHEARSALS

PCO rehearsals take place every Tuesday from 5:30-7:30pm at Trinity Episcopal Church (580 Forest Ave, Portland). During the summer we may go outdoors at either Fort Allen Park (Eastern Promenade), Evergreen Cemetery, or Payson Park. A series of eight intensive rehearsals prepares each of our  concert performances. Please check out the PCO Member Handbook for information on musician expectations, sheet music, attendance, performance etiquette and membership dues.

It provides a unique musical experience to those who are interested and ready for the challenges of playing great music with other musicians.
