Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra

CONTRA COSTA CHAMBER ORCHESTRA has established a presence throughout the county. When the spectacular Lesher Center for the Arts opened its doors in Walnut Creek in 1990, the group was invited to become the Center’s resident chamber orchestra. After more than 20 years at the Lesher Center, the CCCO continues its tradition of providing high quality performances of varied and dynamic musical works.

In addition to the five-concert season at the Lesher Center, the orchestra nurtures its dedication to the community by providing affordable classical music performances to the residents of East Contra Costa County at the historic El Campanil Theater. The CCCO also appears in holiday performances, including annual performances of Handel’s Messiah, sponsored by the City of San Ramon and the First Presbyterian Church of Concord.

One of CCCO’s concerts each season is centered on a family-friendly popular theme, which in the past has included selections from live and animated movies, and broadway musicals. CCCO has always valued the presence of student-aged audience members at all of our concerts, and Youth tickets are offered at heavily discounted prices all season long at all of our performance venues.
