Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra at the Alex Theatre

No fewer than seven of the programs on the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra schedule this season -- in other words, most of them -- contain West Coast, U.S. or world premieres. This proliferation of new music is due, no doubt, to the season-long celebration of the orchestra's 40th anniversary as well as the LACO's laudable commissioning program already in place.
