Pacific Cello Orchestra HK 2024

Founded in 2018, the Pacific Cello Orchestra (PCO) is a summer music program aimed at talented cellists under the age of 18. Its mission is to share the pure joy of music and provide them with professional and rigorous training, allowing them to understand and experience the attitude and discipline required of professional musicians. Approximately 20 young cellists come together to form a full cello orchestra, learning and experiencing the roles played by different sections in ensemble performance, as well as how to fulfil various functions and roles in musical expression.

Over the past few years, PCO has performed at various venues such as the Tai Kwun, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Asia Society Hong Kong Centre, and Guangdong Zhongshan Cultural Centre. The members of PCO are competent and dedicated musicians, and their performances are always inspiring!
