About us

Chamber Academy Orchestra (CAO) is a new and vibrant amateur orchestra based in Central London.

Based on a Classical Orchestra scoring, CAO comprises wind, strings and brass and performs three concerts a year following a ten-week term of rehearsals. The emphasis is on coaching with regular sectionals taken by top freelance professional musicians. The format of the concerts is typically Overture-Concerto-Symphony, collaborating with young soloists of international repute.

CAO is resident at St. Mary Magdalene, Munster Square, Camden with excellent transport links to all areas of London. The Orchestra boasts a friendly yet hard working environment enabling performances of challenging repertoire with a low stress factor! We do not hold auditions preferring to deal with each prospective member individually.

We currently have vacancies in The String, Trumpet and French horn sections.
