Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Society

Our mission

The mission of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is to sustain a world-class chamber orchestra at the highest standards of artistic excellence that enriches the Twin Cities community by sharing dynamic, distinctive and engaging performances. We are actively committed to accessibility and intentional inclusivity in all aspects of our work and continually strive to provide all people in our community with opportunities to connect with the music we perform.

Community support powers the SPCO

Our community is essential to The SPCO’s music-making. After all, performances aren’t complete with an audience to receive them – nor can we make and share music without audience support! As a nonprofit arts organization, were rely on the donations from our audience to share music without any barriers in the way.

Your presence shapes every moment at a Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concert into a unique memory for everyone involved. Your support fuels the making and sharing of this music with everyone in our community. As a nonprofit arts organization, we rely on donations from our audience to make the music that means so much to us all.

With community support, The SPCO shares the life changing experience of music with all who may need it.

Your support allows the SPCO to be a great orchestra for everyone in our community.

Gratitude from the SPCO community

We receive messages from audience members sharing the impact of music in our community. In gratitude for your important role in making the SPCO possible, we’re sharing just a few of these messages here. 

“We absolutely love and cherish the SPCO, for which we have held season tickets for nearly 20 years. We feel extremely fortunate to have such a world class institution in our very midst!”

“My kids got to be in the second row and were blown away. They are musical, and I wanted to expose them to up close real music. My daughter described that she could “feel” the music in a truly sensory way. The ensembles standard of excellence is second to none. The oneness and cleanliness of everything is an absolute delight.”

“Musical energy and collaboration are exceptional. Seeing and hearing the musicians listen to one creates a marvelous experience. Watching the audience listen and respond brings tremendous joy. Our world needs much more music magic!”
