The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra - 60 years strong!

The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra (PACO) is an award-winning youth orchestra for regional string musicians of high-school age and younger. PACO’s five ensembles — SuperStrings, Preparatory, Debut, Sinfonia, and Senior PACO — have roughly 30 members each which rehearse weekly and perform throughout the year presenting an extraordinary level of music-making and commitment to their art.  Our emphasis on chamber music sets PACO apart from other youth programs and lies at the core of our educational success.
