Welcome back to our 2022-23 season!
As of the 2023 Spring Cycle, our advanced ensemble "Core Members of the MPO" aka "CORE", will be changing to "Midwest Chamber Orchestra"! The new name is designed to broaden repertory selections and expand participation while continuing CORE's traditions of ensemble clarity and cultivating an advanced musical environment.
