The Chamber Orchestra performs a wide range of works from the 18th century to present time, written expressly for the intimate setting of a smaller chamber orchestra. Individual players' musical responsibility and preparation is required for the more virtuosic Chamber Orchestra.

Chamber Orchestra rehearses in Barnes Hall and performs many of their concerts in this venue.
