Hobart Chamber Orchestra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hobart Chamber Orchestra (HCO) is a chamber orchestra based in Hobart, Tasmania. The HCO was founded in 1987 by Australian Violinist Phillip Taylor and has since been an important ensemble in Tasmania performing both music from the baroque and classical periods right through to newly commissioned works by composers including Matthew Dewey, Don Kay, Dylan Sheridan, Thanapoom Sirichang and Douglas Knehans.
The HCO is fundamentally a string ensemble of 24 players, although the orchestra sometimes augments to include winds, brass and percussion depending on the repertoire.
