Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

LACO’s 2024/25 season begins in the depths of 19th century Romanticism with Juho Pohjonen and a program of seminal masterworks by Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Experience the gravity of infatuation with Schumann’s Romances, an enduring love letter to his dear wife Clara, written just as he began to succumb to madness. 

Join us as we journey through the evolution of romanticism, where familiar refrains and the discovery of new works converge. The new season climbs to higher peaks of emotion, color, and intimacy – a true feast for the senses.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Music Director Jaime Martín have announced the appointment of Lara Downes as the Orchestra’s first Creative Partner. Downes is a decorated pianist, recording artist and media personality who is deeply committed to change and advocacy in the arts. Her three-year appointment, beginning July 1, 2024, touches virtually every aspect of the organization, spanning LACO’s artistic planning, performance, community engagement, advocacy, and education platforms.

Led by Music Director Jaime Martín, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) was founded in 1968 as an artistic outlet for the recording industry’s most gifted musicians.
