The
Hampton Concert Orchestra
The
Hampton Concert Orchestra (HCO) is now in its 43rd
season as an amateur symphony orchestra- the longest continuous
run of any amateur orchestra in the Greater Victoria region. It is
a registered charitable association that performs classical music
concerts at various venues. Music is drawn from the light
classical, symphonic, popular/Broadway, operatic overtures, ballet
overtures, and other repertoire. The HCO
began in 1967 as a group of seniors playing music together in a
church hall. It soon moved to its present location at the Les
Passmore Centre on Hampton Rd, to operate as a program offered by
the Saanich Silver Threads.
