Brixton Chamber Orchestra
Founded in 2018 by born and bred Brixton local, Matthew O’Keeffe, Brixton Chamber Orchestra is a product of local talent and the unique blend of creative energy and cultural diversity that characterises Brixton.
Known for their innovative setlists and arrangements, BCO's performances span a wide range of genres and venues, from classical to jazz, grime to gospel, and beyond. They especially enjoy reaching new audiences in unexpected venues and appear all over Brixton - in markets, pubs, clubs, parks, churches, and community centres.
As a charity (No. 1181169), they exist to provide free live music experiences for communities and paid live performance opportunities for young professional musicians. Every summer and winter, the Brixton Chamber Orchestra embarks on a 12-date tour of Lambeth housing estates, performing free orchestral concerts for local residents, young and old, who may otherwise never get the chance to witness a live orchestra.
