Giving GREAT MUSIC to Columbus

since 1979

Welcome to the 45th season of the Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra!

ABOUT US

Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra was founded in February 1979 by a group of amateur musicians who wanted to play chamber music. We have since grown from our initial chamber size to a full-blown symphony orchestra, and our repertoire has expanded accordingly. Membership is open to musicians in Central Ohio with a desire to create great music. MCO has enjoyed a succession of professional conductors. Our first was Timothy Russell—now emeritus conductor of ProMusica of Columbus. Since 2001 we have been under the baton of Luis Biava.

Funded primarily through dues from members, the orchestra gratefully accepts donations.

OUR CONDUCTOR

Luis Biava has been the Music Director and Conductor of the Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra since 2001.

Maestro Biava serves as principal cellist with the Columbus Symphony, and is also the Music Director and Conductor of the New Albany Symphony. 

He has studied conducting with David Zinman and Murray Sidlin, as well as cello performance with Leonard Rose (among many others).

Whether on the podium, performing as a soloist, section or chamber musician, Luis' charm, dynamism, patience, humor and intellect always shine through in his vibrant and brilliant performances.
