BRISTOL CONCERT ORCHESTRA

About the BCO

"Red Hot Concert".... Bristol Evening Post, June 2009

Bristol Concert Orchestra is one of Bristol’s largest and most versatile orchestras, playing mainly symphonic and large-scale choral repertoire.  In recent years, under the expert direction of Stefan Hofkes, the orchestra has built up an excellent reputation, performing in Bristol’s main concert venues with top national and international soloists, attracting critical acclaim.

Apart from its main concert series the orchestra is frequently invited to perform with leading choirs in and around Bristol and has been engaged to take part at events like the Bristol Sunwalk at Ashton Court and the "Bristol Sings" event at the Colston Hall.

This season will also see a new initiative, the BCO family concert, aimed at a young audience and families, as an addition to the normal concert season.  Another venture is BCO's new sister orchestra, the BCO Chamber Orchestra, which gave its first successful concert last summer at St Mary's Church in Olveston, performing a programme of much-loved works by Handel and Mozart.

BCO is a Registered Charity in England and Wales - 1128196.
