LACO DEBUTS “CLOSE QUARTERS”

The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, led by Music Director Jaime Martin, announced it will debut its 2020-2021 season, entitled LACO CLOSE QUARTERS on Friday, Nov. 6 at 6.30 pm. Featuring a robust slate of 16 original digital programs with sweeping repertoire and compelling visual elements directed by groundbreaking director/designer/artist James Darrah, the concerts will be taped at the Colburn School’s Olive Rehearsal Hall and will stream biweekly on Fridays through June 4, 2021.

Darrah, noted for bridging theater, music and film, will establish a first-of-its-kind digital studio at Wilhardt & Naud, a film studio and multi-disciplinary arts campus located in Chinatown. The studio will serve as a creative hub for developing artistic media content with LA-based artists and film-makers, who, inspired by the orchestra’s musical programming, will create works in a variety of mediums that will factor into the broadcasts and endure long after the season concludes.
