Innovation is at the heart of every Chamber Orchestra Anglia event.  Our activities are designed to provide fresh insights into orchestral music and to challenge established assumptions about the repertoire we perform.  We hope to encourage audience members and performers of every age to think outside the box.

The Orchestra is especially renowned for its work with young people, which is geared towards nurturing talent for the future.  Our coCOA scheme, which brings world-class educational opportunities to young musicians between the ages of 11 and 25, is well-established and enjoys the support and involvement of leading conductors including Sir Colin Davis and Jiri Belohlavek. We are now working to expand this programme, and to integrate this important community work more closely into the formal-sector education of young people in the region.
