New Century Chamber Orchestra - Concert 4

San Francisco's premiere conductorless ensemble, the Grammy-nominated New Century Chamber Orchestra relies on the virtuosic skill of each individual--instead of a baton--to achieve its improvisatory sound with power, color and precision. Hailed "best kept secret in San Francisco," by Sir Simon Rattle, NCCO gives performances that you don't need prior musical experience to enjoy. In intimate, acoustically vibrant venues, experience the magic of the New Century Chamber Orchestra up-close. Performing standing, NCCO players are totally exposed on stage with no one to hold them together-- no safety net--nothing to fall back on if someone forgets a beat. Their rhythmic unity and velvety smooth string tone will knock your socks off and remind you of what's delicious in the world. They're so good, they don't need a conductor.
