​
The Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra is a community based string orchestra of approximately 35 instrumentalists. Members include experienced professionals, dedicated amateurs and talented young musicians. The orchestra's concerts often feature local soloists. Occasionally, the core group is expanded to include winds and percussion to perform larger works. Mentoring young musicians by providing training and performance opportunities is an important goal of the orchestra. Performances take place in the mid-Vancouver Island area.
