As northern Michigan’s champion of live orchestral music, it is our mission to entertain, to inspire and to educate. We are a group of talented professional musicians who understand our role in teaching students of all ages, and bringing music instruction to area schools and music programs to foster a love for music and musical performance. We are inspiring the next generation of musicians! More information about any of these programs can be obtained by calling the GLCO office at 231.487.0010.
