Who Are THe MEADOWS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA?

 

Registered Charity No SC023005

The Meadows Chamber Orchestra has frequently been described as one of the UK’s finest amateur orchestras.

For over 50 years, the MCO, under its principal conductor and musical adviser, Peter Evans, has performed regularly and with critical acclaim to audiences in Edinburgh and beyond.

A tradition of imaginative programming and exciting performances has given the Orchestra a unique place in Scottish musical life.   In recognition of its promotion of contemporary music, the Orchestra has received a number of Awards for Enterprise from the Performing Rights Society.  Two of its many new commissions – works by Jonathan Pitkin and Helen Grime – have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3,and part of Richard Michael’s Meadows Suite for Jazz Piano and Orchestra was broadcast on BBC Scotland’s Jazz House programme.
