Magellan Chamber Orchestra:

Founded in 2025 by multi - Grammy–nominated violinist Philippe Quint, the Magellan Chamber Orchestra (MCO) is dedicated to bold collaborations and imaginative programming.

 

The orchestra’s inaugural performance took place on October 29, 2025 at the Chicago History Museum in a concert celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. MCO returned to Chicago History Museum with a Holiday Special program featuring an all-Baroque program of Bach & Vivaldi. MCO will make it's New York City debut on February 12, 2026 at the Aspect Chamber Music Series with an adventurous pairing of Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi & Astor Piazzolla. 

What sets the Magellan Chamber Orchestra apart is its vision: to bring together
world-class artists, young musicians, and diverse communities in performances
that break barriers between tradition and innovation. With a spirit of discovery,
MCO creates concerts that are not only musically excellent but also immersive,
relevant, and deeply engaging. This is an orchestra built for the future, one that
celebrates heritage while reimagining what a chamber orchestra can be.
