 The Cleveland Chamber Orchestra (CCO) is an amateur ensemble giving 4 or 5 concerts a year in the Tees Valley area in N E

 England.  It was founded in 1981 by Tim Jackson (pictured above) who remains its Director to this day.  The CCO’s policy has

 always been to perform a mixture of basic repertoire and masterworks that are rarely if ever given a public performance in the

 provinces, with a preference to include 20^th century works in many concert programmes.

 In 1993, the CCO was invited to be resident at a music festival in Greece, where it was the accompanying orchestra in the first

 performance of Mozart’s opera Così fan Tutte in Greek! The orchestra has also worked with a number of local choirs to perform

 such masterworks as Beethoven’s Choral Symphony, Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, Dvorak’s Stabat Mater, Bruckner’s Mass in E

 and Bach’s B minor Mass.   In 2008, in collaboration with the Royal Northern College, the orchestra put on two semi-staged

 performances of Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro in Richmond.  It also gives charity concerts from time to time.

 The orchestra has had enormous help from many sources, but especially over the last 15 years by its association with David

 Greed, the leader of Opera North, who has often appeared as guest conductor and soloist and helped the orchestra improve

 and develop. 

Membership of the CCO is by invitation.  Please e-mail the Director or ring 01748-821343
