Mission Chamber Orchestra San Jose CA
San Jose CA best symphony in the silicon valley area
Following a year-long search, the Mission Chamber Orchestra of San José is delighted to announce the appointment of Juan Palacios as our new musical director. We are looking forward excitedly to working with him, exploring new and familiar repertoire together, and continuing the orchestra's tradition of bringing classical music to the broad South Bay community.
Palacios will be the 2nd music director in the MCO's 29 year history, following founding director Emily Ray. The first opportunity to see Maestro Palacios in his new role will be on September 28th at the Hammer Theatre in San José. Come along for an exciting evening, and help us welcome Juan to the Mission Chamber Orchestra!
We look forward to seeing you at the concerts!
