The Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra believes in the power of music to bring our community together. We hope you'll consider supporting the orchestra this year by making a gift through Centre Gives, Centre County's annual 36-hour online giving event on May 8 & 9.

By donating to PCO during Centre Gives, you'll support not only the artistic vision of Music Director Gerardo Edelstein, but also all of our amazingly talented musicians who make this vision a reality in the concert hall.
