2022-2023 Season 
“New Horizons”

In 2013, Dr. Antoine T. Clark and the Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center (MAC) decided to try something new: they created a chamber orchestra. After nine successful years, the MAC-sponsored chamber orchestra (MACCO) now operates as the Worthington Chamber Orchestra (WCO), an independent entity.

​

Worthington Chamber Orchestra is proud to present the 2022-2023 season under the direction of its founding artistic and music director, Antoine T. Clark. This new season consists of fun family programming, beautiful classics, a newly commissioned work, and exciting collaborations. It is the mission of WCO to support local artists while providing diverse and dynamic programming that entertains, inspires, and fosters music education.

​

The 2022-2023 season theme, New Horizons, highlights WCO’s new beginnings and commitment to championing diversity, presenting dynamic programming, and supporting local artists for a tenth season.

​

The Family and Education Series focuses on family-oriented programming, music education, and the second collaboration with Sarah Hixon and Hixon Dance in Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved classic children’s tale, Peter and the Wolf.

​

The Benedicta Enrile Masterworks Series showcases three inspiring concerts, Beauty and Beethoven, The Romantics and Mozart, and Love, Songs, and Broadway. Guest artists include Linda Kernohan, composer; Michael Cox, saxophone; and Laura Portune, soprano.

​

These concerts mark WCO’s first season as an independent organization as it looks forward to future growth and a deeper connection to the Worthington community.
