Mahler Chamber Orchestra

A professional touring chamber orchestra founded by Claudio Abbado and former members of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in 1997.

The MCO appears throughout the year in about 60-70 concerts and performances. It consists of 60 musicians from 17 different nations. Its activities include concerts, opera projects, chamber music as well as CD recordings. 

Strong artistic links have been established with Daniel Harding (principal guest conductor 1998-2003, music director since September 2003) and Claudio Abbado. 

Claudio Abbado

Daniel Harding

The MCO's repertoire reaches from baroque to contemporary music. Since its inception in 1997, the MCO has had a close relationship with the music of Brahms, and has performed it regularly with great success. Now, the orchestra embarks - for the first time - on a complete Brahms cycle, during which it will take all four symphonies on tour. Singapore Arts Festival has the honour of having the MCO present symphonies 3 and 4 of that cycle. 

The MCO is a free financed orchestra without any state support. Friends and sponsors are needed to maintain the artistic life of the orchestra.
