The Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra’s Island debut at the Performing Arts Center in Oak Bluffs on November 20th will include works by Shaw, Barber, Handel and Tchaikovsky.
The Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra
Founded in 2018, the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra has already made its mark. In 2019 it was named the “Best New Cultural Attraction” by Yankee Magazine and in 2020 the orchestra took home First prize in the American Prize Competition for Orchestral Performance. CCCO’s focus is on Cape collaborations with artists and art centers: the Harwich Guild of Artists, the Edward Gorey House, the Whydah Pirate Museum, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, the Heritage Museums & Gardens, poet Judith Wyeth. They now add Martha's Vineyard and the MVCMS to this list. They have presented dozens of concerts and commissioned and premiered works from participants in their young composer residency. CCCO Founder and Director Matthew Scinto brings with him a extensive background in conducting -- the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, Symphoria, the New Haven Civic Orchestra, the Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra, the Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras, the Miami Music Festival Orchestra, the Syracuse University Symphony, and the Boston University Symphony and Chamber Orchestras. A recent review in Boston Music Intelligencer applauded his style: “Without a baton and using economical gestures to indicate phrasing and direction, Scintos conducting was refreshing and exhuberant. “ We hope you’ll join us on November 20th at the Performing Arts Center for the CCCO Vineyard debut concert, including works both classic and contemporary. |
