Welcome to the Bristol Concert Orchestra (BCO) Web Site. We hope you find our site informative and interesting, and will want to return to us for regular updates.
The orchestra is one of Bristol’s largest orchestras, playing mainly symphonic and large-scale choral repertoire. It was formed in the late 1940s as the Bristol Light Concert Orchestra, its purpose then being to provide a body for amateur musicians to rehearse and perform light classics. It was renamed Bristol Concert Orchestra In the late 1960s, from which time the focus moved to performing larger works from the symphonic repertoire.
In recent years, under the expert direction of Stefan Hofkes, the orchestra has increased its standing considerably, regularly performing in Bristol’s top concert venues with excellent professional soloists, and often attracting critical acclaim.
BCO is a Registered Charity in England and Wales - 1128196.
Occasionally the orchestra has vacancies for
suitably experienced players. (Guideline standard: Grade 8). Please contact us
if you are interested. We rehearse on term-time Mondays, between 7.30 and 9.30
pm, at Ashton Park School, Bristol. We are always pleased to help new members
and we can often arrange shared transport.
