Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra

About Us

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra is a community organization that seeks to bring quality musical experiences and opportunities to Northern Michigan Communities.

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra began as a vision of a handful of professional musicians who performed several concerts in 2000. The orchestra filled a need for classical orchestral music in the northern Michigan area, and soon the GLCO was performing classical concerts, “pop” series concerts and smaller neighborhood recital concerts, as well as developing educational programs that inspire and transform students both in the community and in local schools.
As Northern Michigan’s champions of classical chamber music, it is our mission to entertain, to inspire and to educate. With a vast variety of concert themes, we highlight the most classic of traditional composers to the most innovative of today’s contemporaries—we truly have something for everyone!
