This is the home for BCCO – and also the Women’s Chorus and our Chamber Singers

For almost 60 years, the Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra
has inspired people of all musical abilities and backgrounds to sing
major symphonic choral works — and has performed them free of charge for the community.

This month: Public Lecture!

Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO) will premiere the Terezin Requiem by Michael Schachter, which celebrates the coming together of a community in the face of unimaginable horrors. Come learn the story behind the music.  A descendant of Otto Bendix, a Jew from Berlin, who died in Terezin, will tell his story. Isaac Pastor-Chermak, cellist and music history professor at the SF Conservatory of Music, will discuss “Music, musicians, and musicianship under Nazi rule.”
