The Cornell Chamber Orchestra is an orchestra of about 30 players, comprising students from all of the colleges on campus. Acceptance into the orchestra is by audition only.

The regular rehearsal times for CCO are:
Tuesday afternoons from 4:45 - 6:15 pm in Barnes Hall
Thursday afternoons from 4:45 - 6:45 pm in Barnes Hall

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.
