About us

Who Are We? The Des Moines Community Orchestra (DMCO) is composed of musicians whose love of music brings them together to perform great symphonic works, both new and old.
​
DMCO is deeply committed to making classical music concerts free for everyone and does not charge admission for its regular season concerts. Donations from our audience help sustain the orchestra and allow us to continue this tradition.

We invite you to come experience our love of music firsthand by attending our concerts, or by sitting in with the orchestra for our Dress rehearsal. We invite students to come and sit in during the dress rehearsal and experience what it is like to play in an orchestra - contact our conductor for details (Carl Johnson).
