The Maruki Community Orchestra (MCO) is an innovative community symphony orchestra devoted to all musicians in the Canberra region – regardless of age, experience and skill level, who have strong interests in playing classical musical instruments in an orchestral environment and who wish to develop their skills and express their musicality.

MCO enables its players to achieve successes not otherwise possible in a positive, encouraging environment.

Above all we are a community of enthusiastic musicians who not only enjoy exploring beautiful music, but also each other's company. To this end our rehearsal afternoon teas and musical soirées are legendary!

MCO is a very special community music project. MCO recognises and values diversity whether it is based on religion beliefs, cultural background, disability, ethnicity, education level or gender expression.
