ROCO
Music Among Friends

Chamber Concerts and Collaborations

Because of its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as “music of friends.” ROCO continues the tradition of small ensembles performing in intimate environments, allowing listeners to enjoy the subtleties of the musical conversation among the musicians and between musicians and audience.
