Milton Keynes City Orchestra (MKCO) will perform their Farewell Concert today under the baton of Music Director Damian Iorio. Milton Keynes City Orchestra is a professional freelance orchestra which was founded in 1975.
The board statement says: « It is with deep regret that the Board of MKCO has made a fully considered decision for the orchestra to close at the end of the 2018-2019 season. Over the last six years there has been a pro-active fund raising and creative re-organisation to bring greater quality to performance and education work. However, audiences haven’t grown significantly, the company is not resilient and there isn’t sustainable financial or resource support for professional classical music performance in MK. With generous support from current funders MKCO will close without debt. »
