Colchester Civic Orchestra, Choir, & Jazz Band

Welcome to the Colchester Civic Orchestra, Choir and Jazz Band’s website!

The CCO is a non-profit organization open to all music lovers. Started in 2002 by conductor John Ringo and his wife Cheryl, we have nearly 60 members from towns all over Connecticut. With members ranging in age from 10 to 70, from students to professional music teachers, the CCO is a true community group!

The CCO is comprised of three groups, the orchestra, choir, and jazz band. We perform a wide variety of music, from classical pieces such as Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, to Pops pieces such as Harry Potter, present day show stopping hits from Phantom of the Opera, Big Band Jazz, and more. We have performed at many venues including Sunset Sounds in Colchester, the beautiful grounds of the Goodspeed Opera House in Haddam, Colchester Town Green, and Bacon Academy.

The CCO is always looking for new members.  If you sing or play an instrument, please consider joining! All ages and all levels of experience are welcome.

If you are planning an event, booking the CCO as your musical entertainment will make it an affair to remember!
