North Corner Chamber Orchestra

Mission

NOCCO's mission is to present immersive, collaborative, vibrant, and high-quality musical performances while removing barriers and enabling access to inclusive concert experiences.

Description

For too long, classical music has been confined by rigid rules and structures. NOCCO removes those barriers, connecting musicians and audiences through unconducted performances in intimate settings. We put collaboration at the heart of our music-making, resulting in vibrant, high energy performances that are bursting with enthusiasm. Through fun and casual venues, diverse programming, and accommodating ticket pricing, NOCCO seeks to build a concert-going community that includes those new to, or even historically alienated from, orchestral music.

Fundraising Goal

Looking ahead to the coming season, we have identified several needs and opportunities critical to the growth and well-being of our orchestra. We have set a goal of raising $5,000 to fortify our organization and launch our 2025-2026 season on a positive note. These funds will contribute to venue costs, sheet music, musician pay, and operational expenses. As we face increased costs, your support is instrumental in maintaining NOCCO's momentum and ensuring fair compensation for our dedicated musicians. Additionally, your generosity will enable us to sustain programs like our free-ticket initiative, which has brought the joy of music to over a hundred individuals this past year.

In our pursuit to inspire and nurture young musicians, share our passion for music with the community, and uphold our standard of excellence, your support is invaluable. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these needs further and provide additional details. Your contribution is not only an investment in NOCCO but also a commitment to fostering musical opportunities for our orchestra group in the upcoming year.
