Milton Keynes city Orchestra (MKCO) is a profssional freelance orchestra, founded 43 yeas ago, providing a first-class listening and visual experience for audiences at every stage of classical music appreciation.

The orchestra is dedicated to the delivery of a relevant and innovative education and outreach programme, working closely with partners in education, the arts and charities that have similar goals and ambitions within the community. We support MK Snap, William Blake House and people with disabilities and mental health issues as music is a wonderful therapy. We are also engaged with supporting the elderly and will be taking part in the Older Persons' Open Forum on 14th March in Milton Keynes.

We will be developing our Effective Change Programme and rolling out musical education across the city and working with young people to educate and increase their awareness of classical music.
