About The KCO
Welcome to the web site of The Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra, a professional chamber orchestra under the direction of Gary S. Fagin, serving the Lower Manhattan community.
The mission of the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra (KCO) is to be the premier classical music group in Lower Manhattan. Its purpose is to enrich, inspire and educate Downtown’s diverse communities by bringing outstanding orchestral and chamber music performances and educational programs to residents, workers and students. KCO incorporates this area’s rich history into innovative performances and educational programming, through collaboration with acclaimed soloists, choral, dance and literary organizations. KCO programs are inspired by Lower Manhattan, are performed in the extraordinary spaces of Lower Manhattan, and are created for the people of Lower Manhattan.
