Opening and Auditions

Pacifica musicians perform to the highest level in a chamber setting where each member has a vital role. Our group is fun, friendly and tight knit. 

Pacifica Chamber Orchestra is a professional chamber orchestra that performs five subscription concerts with 3 to 4 required rehearsals currently at Mukilteo Presbyterian Church from 7 to 9 on Thursday evenings. Musicians are expected to come with parts prepared. We play as an ensemble (without a conductor).To schedule an audition, please send a :
