Headquartered in the heart of the country’s cultural capital, LACO has been proclaimed Americas finest chamber orchestra (Public Radio International), LAs most unintimidating chamber music experience (Los Angeles magazine), resplendent (Los Angeles Times), and one of the world’s great chamber orchestras"(KUSC Classical FM).

The digitally native programs, created specifically for streaming and applauded as musically and artistically compelling (Los Angeles Times) have redefined how classical music can be presented in the 21st century (Cultural Attach).
