What is a Chamber Orchestra?

Smaller than a symphony, larger than a chamber group — a chamber orchestra features around 35 musicians, offering audiences the opportunity to experience a more intimate orchestral setting. This smaller ensemble, the norm before 1800, can perform jewels of the repertoire that are inappropriate for the larger symphonic body, giving the public a chance to hear exquisite musical works that are less frequently performed, and not limited to one period or style.

    The PCO was founded in 1947 by Finnish composer and conductor, Boris Sirpo, who came to Portland after leaving his war-torn native country, and the orchestra was initially composed entirely of his music students at Lewis and Clark College. Now one of America’s oldest chamber orchestras, the commitment to quality performances of innovative repertoire was instilled from the beginning.
   

    Yaacov Bergman joined the orchestra in 2002, and under his leadership it has developed its distinctive timbre and a new focus of a fusion of art forms, while bringing to audiences World, American and Northwest Premieres.

Reviews:

“PCO offers programs that range far beyond the mainstream…
They are Portland’s premier chamber orchestra.”
David Stabler, The Oregonian

“Bergman and the PCO present [a] fusion of the arts and continue to help
blaze the trail for future innovative programming in the greater Portland area.”
Jill Timmons, The Jewish Review

“Under music director Yaacov Bergman, Portland Chamber Orchestra lately
has been the city’s most innovative orchestra, combining music
with visual arts, poetry – and last year even science and sex.”
