Melbourne Chamber Orchestra serves the community in ways which include:
Establishing a new and unique model in Australia for the development of a chamber orchestra which focuses on musical excellence, artistic development and shared musical leadership.
Fostering the development of our brightest and best professional performers through the establishment of a core group of highly talented professional string players.
Promoting opportunities for Australian composers to develop their talents within our community and to reside in our midst while pursuing their careers.
Providing concerts on a value-for-money basis, being efficient in the use of our limited resources and transparent in our accounting for the use of public and private donations.
Minimising the barriers between artists and audience - aiming for a concert experience where the audience is moved by the music in an intimate and personally-involving setting.
