Who can join?
The Mukilteo Community Orchestra provides amateur adult musicians with an orchestral experience in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. The Orchestra encourages people who have not played an instrument for a while to rekindle their joy of playing.
MCO is open to intermediate and advanced strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Members enjoy playing a variety of classical music and sharing it through community performances.
The Artistic Director defines the necessary balance of instruments and new members are accepted accordingly. A waiting list is maintained when there are more applicants of a specific instrument than meet the musical needs of the repertoire.
We are currently seeking string players to join us, but some other positions may be available. Please reach out to membership@mukilteoorchestra.org to learn more about available openings!
