ARCO Chamber Orchestra

The ARCO Chamber Orchestra's next concert will feature concertos by Bach and Podgaits, as well as Tchaikovsky’s famous keyboard work The Seasons.



Performing will be Levon Ambartsumian, Franklin Regent Professor and artistic director of ARCO Chamber Orchestra, and Sinisa Ciric, former UGA student and Savannah Philharmonic concertmaster. Anatoly Sheludyakov (piano) and Denis Petrunin (percussion) are on the program, and Jaclyn Hartenberger will join as a guest conductor.



The ARCO Chamber Orchestra was originally founded in Russia in 1989 at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory by Ambartsumian. When he joined the UGA faculty in 1995, Ambartsumian remained the artistic director and conductor of the orchestra, moving its home base to the Hodgson School. The ensemble has become a blend of talented international musicians.
