[edit] History
The Concord Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1975 out of a hired pit orchestra for musical productions at Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon, Wisconsin. After performing at Concordia University and several other venues for many years, the orchestra made its home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin in 1993 where it continues to play most concerts at St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
