About LACO

Beloved by audiences and praised by critics, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, known to Angelenos as LACO, is a preeminent interpreter of historical masterworks as well as a champion of contemporary composers. Headquartered in the heart of the country’s cultural capital, LACO has been proclaimed “America’s finest chamber orchestra” (Public Radio International), “LA’s most unintimidating chamber music experience” (Los Angeles Magazine), “resplendent” (Los Angeles Times), and “one of the world’s great chamber orchestras”(KUSC Classical FM).

LACO has made 31 recordings, toured Europe, South America and Japan, performed across North America, and garnered eight ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming. The Orchestra’s offices are located in downtown Los Angeles.

About Salastina

Described as “the future of chamber music” (and likened to “a secret society”), Salastina invites composers, listeners, and artists to celebrate the beauty of the past and present, and to carry it forward into the future with a spirit of inclusiveness. For Salastina, chamber music is more than performances: it is community-building, education, and conversation.

Many of our Resident Artists earn their bread and butter recording for major motion pictures. But chamber music is what we do for fun, and to feed our souls.

For the 2021/22 season, Salastina performs in exclusively indoor/outdoor courtyards in Santa Ana, West LA, and Pasadena. Learn more at salastina.org
