Passion for PCO

Help uplift PCO and

Transform the World

There’s Still Time to Make a Difference

Community Health and Education Foundation (CHEF) is pleased to partner with Pacific Chamber Orchestra (PCO) for Passion for PCO, helping sustain exceptional live music, professional artists, and music education throughout our community.  Passion for PCO has been extended through September 30, giving you more time to support PCO and make your generosity go even further with CHEF’s 50% match.

Your Gift Goes 50% Further

During Passion for PCO, CHEF will match every donation at 50%, increasing the impact of your generosity and CHEF covers all administrative and processing fees, allowing your donation and the full CHEF match to go directly toward impact.

An Exciting Season Ahead

PCO is excited about what’s ahead—from new artistic leadership and inspiring performances to expanded opportunities to bring live music into the lives of students and audiences throughout our community. Your support helps make it all possible.

Your gift helps support:

    • PCO’s distinctive concert programs — bringing audiences music from across eras and style,
      with performances for all ages.
    • Eric Silberger, PCO’s first Creative Partner & Artist in Residence — performing, soloing, composing,
      and helping shape PCO’s artistic vision.
    • Eileen Moon, Principal Cellist, and PCO’s other principal musicians — strengthening the exceptional
      artistic leadership at the heart of the orchestra.
    • Discover Music Now — bringing professional musicians and live music to thousands of students
      through in-school assemblies and full-orchestra concerts.
    • The people behind every performance — supporting the team and infrastructure that transform artistic
      ideas into memorable experiences.

Come Closer to the Music

PCO also looks forward to creating opportunities throughout the season for members of the community to connect more closely with its artists and music. The first reception will be held on Sunday, September 20, following Songs of the Heart at the Bankhead Theater, with Eric Silberger and Eileen Moon. To learn more about what’s new at PCO, visit the Pacific Chamber Orchestra website.

There’s still time to be part of Passion for PCO. Your gift helps sustain inspiring performances, exceptional professional musicians, and engaging music education for young audiences. With CHEF’s 50% match, your generosity reaches even further—helping PCO enrich lives through the power of music.
