Join us after each concert for a reception, where you can meet the musicians and Music Director of the Naples Community Orchestra. Meet new friends and old while supporting the Community. It is a great way to spend an afternoon! Great music. Good fun! It's what we like to call "The NCO Experience."
The opposing forces of Fate & Liberty
Fate suggests a predetermined course of events and Liberty evokes both free will and personal choice. The interplay between these concepts raises interesting questions about the extent to which our lives are governed by destiny versus our ability to shape our own paths.

The concert features internationally acclaimed pianist, Aristo Sham, who will perform Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Balancing the yin-yang of Conflict & Peace
Conflict arises when there are opposing interests or goals, often leading to tension and discord, but it can also be a catalyst for positive change and growth. Peace is not merely the absence of conflict but involves the resolution of disputes through dialogue and justice.
Our Pops concert returns!
Always an NCO audience favorite, our Pops concert will be returning for the 2025 Season. We will be performing a wide selection of broadway tunes and music from the Silver Screen. You will not want to miss it!

We will be featuring local performers, Mark Sanders and Carolann Sanita, who have charmed audiences throughout Southwest Florida. Dr. Steven Moore will take the conductor's podium for this concert.
Evoking spirituality and emotion through music.
Music and mysticism are intertwined through their shared ability to evoke spiritual and emotional experiences that transcend ordinary perception. Many cultures recognize music as a medium for mystical experiences, serving as a bridge to the divine or the ultimate reality, often described as ineffable and deeply personal. We intend to explore all these areas in the final concert of our 2025 Season with works by Fauré, Bruch & Sibelius.
​
The concert features Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist, David Taylor. David is the Assistant Concert Master for the CSO.
Join us after the concert for a reception!
We host a reception after every concert where you can enjoy a glass of champagne and meet the orchestra members and Music Director, Dr. Alvin Ho. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow classical music enthusiasts, make new friends, and support the community—it's more than just a concert; it’s the NCO Experience.
