About the Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra

The Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra is a musician-run organization founded in September 1998 dedicated to providing quality concerts for the community. The chamber orchestra performs regularly in Woodbridge at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. The size of the orchestra and the acoustics of the beautiful sanctuary have made for a perfect match. In a short time the OBCO has found a loyal and enthusiastic audience. Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra musicians have considerable input into the music selected, concert themes chosen, and other operational details.


In 1999 the orchestra joined the Prince William Arts Council as an affiliate organization and has been actively involved partnering with other affiliates to enhance the impact of the arts in the community. In April 2003 The Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra was awarded the “Kathleen Seefeldt Award of Arts Excellence” for New and Emerging Organization, an award given by the Prince William County Park Authority. The orchestra also received the distinguished “Cultural Arts Organization of the Year” Award in October 2003 from the Prince William Regional Chamber of Commerce. The OBCO has chamber ensembles that regularly perform for community events, business gatherings, and private parties.
