About the Dallas Chamber Orchestra
From the very beginning the DCO was recognized as "a remarkably tight-knit ensemble, playing with enormous spirit and projection." (Dallas Morning News). The DCO performs in the time honored tradition for smaller orchestras, without conductor, and is consistently praised for its “robust, cohesive performances" (Dallas Times Herald).
The orchestra consists of four to fifteen virtuoso performers playing on some of the greatest stringed instruments ever crafted including instruments by Stradivari, Amati, Rugeri and Montagnana. As a result the orchestra is consistently praised as "an ensemble of notable refinement and artistry" High Fidelity Musical America) and as an orchestra that "produces a sound equal in richness and depth to what one expects from a string section of a great orchestra." (Fort Worth Star Telegram) The ensemble was recently featured as the resident Chamber Orchestra in the XIX International "Festival de Musica de Camara" in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Other featured resident ensembles included the Tokyo and Ying String Quartets.
The Dallas Chamber Orchestra is frequently heard on National Public Radio "Performance Today" and has numerous recordings to its credit. The repertoire performed by the DCO encompasses a varied style from the early baroque to music by living composers. The Dallas Chamber Orchestra is rapidly earning a place in the saturated and highly competitive international performing scene and is developing an active touring schedule.
