Exciting Opportunities for Talented Musicians

Every season PCO offers talented young musicians from southern and midcoast Maine the opportunity to share their talents with PCO's very appreciative audience. These joint undertakings are enriching not only for the soloists - who may be playing with an orchestra for the very first time in their budding careers - but also for PCO players, who are inspired by these talented young musicians. These collaborations provide a unique musical experience to all those involved, enriching soloists, orchestra members and audience alike.
