The Manitoba Chamber Orchestra (MCO) is a classical music ensemble based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Founded in 1972, the MCO presents nine concerts annually at Westminster United Church and tours in rural Manitoba, Canada and elsewhere.
The MCO premieres numerous new compositions each season. At the biennial meeting of the Association of Canadian Orchestras in 1990 the MCO was presented with a SOCAN Award of Merit for ‘the imaginative programming of contemporary Canadian music.’
