MISSION
The mission of the Trinity Chamber Orchestra is to be the resident chamber ensemble of the historic Trinity Theater in Georgetown, performing sacred and secular music from the Baroque to the 21st century for the honor and glory of God, under the patronage of the most Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Trinity Chamber Orchestra (TCO) of Washington DC is a highly skilled, thirty-six piece orchestra made up of dedicated musicians from the tri-state area who love playing classical music and making that music available to audiences of all ages throughout the Washington Metropolitan area. The TCO performs music that includes works for the large chamber orchestra and smaller ensembles where it is able to feature its fine soloists. Under the expert direction of Maestro Richard Fazio, the TCO performs four concerts per year on Sundays at 3:00 PM. The TCO is chartered in the State of Maryland as a non-profit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductable.

HISTORY
By the summer of 1999, the foundational work of the TCO was nearing completion. That October a preview concert was performed in Holy Trinity Catholic Church to introduce this new orchestra to the community. The concept for our opening was, “A new Millennium – a new Orchestra!” With the grace of God and much hard work, our dream came true. In the new millennium, on January 16, 2000 the Trinity Chamber Orchestra performed its first glorious concert in Holy Trinity Catholic Church to a very excited and enthusiastic audience meriting a standing ovation at the end of the outstanding performance.

Over the course of its seven seasons the TCO has performed a fabulous variety of classical and new works. In addition the TCO has developed several annual events; the “Annual Youth Concert” featuring some of the areas finest young musicians, and “An Afternoon at the Opera” featuring promising new vocal artists. Each January, audience members are invited to our Birthday Concert complete with a reception after the performance. Our last concert includes the winner of the conductor raffle who gets to conduct the encore at the end of the concert.
