Over the past twenty-one years, the Charlotte Civic Orchestra has evolved from a small group of musicians who played for their own enjoyment into a seventy-member volunteer orchestra comprised of musicians, teachers and other professionals who are intent on keeping orchestral music relevant to our community.  We believe that orchestral music is a gift to be shared across generations and cultures, and makes for a richer and more connected community.

To effectively reach out to the community and share the universal gift of music, the CCO’s budget has grown immensely. In addition, we have recently started an Endowment Program by the Board and Orchestra members who raised the necessary matching funds to ensure the long-term stability of the Orchestra's future.  Unfortunately, this is not enough!!!

The survival of this unique community orchestra depends on the community itself.  Without your support, we can not exist.  Please consider a tax-deductible contribution.
