The Longy Conservatory Orchestra (LCO) explores a wide range of exciting repertoire with an emphasis on the classical and romantic orchestral canon, but often featuring 20th-century masterpieces and collaborations with living composers in world premieres. Concerts are carefully programmed to highlight the musical connections between composers and musical styles.
The LCO presents concerts in Longy’s Pickman Hall and in off-campus venues such as Sanders Theatre at Harvard University and the Richard B. Fisher Center at Bard College. The LCO collaborates with Longy’s opera department to perform one fully-staged opera each year and with Longy’s composition department in readings and performances of student compositions.
