​Cardiff Chamber Orchestra was established amidst the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. A few colleagues and friends pulled together and discussed the idea of forming an orchestra to widen performance opportunities and the scope of repertoire being performed. Since then, Cardiff Chamber Orchestra has successfully performed its first season of concerts, providing musical opportunities and concerts to the local community. Throughout its first season, Cardiff Chamber Orchestra has become a friendly face to classical music making, passionate about breaking down barriers, and access to classical music performances.
