Founded in 1996, the NIH Community Orchestra is an all-volunteer organization that unites the musical talent of NIH and the surrounding community: NIH affiliation is not required. Please see our new introductory video (below)!  We perform three orchestral concerts per season, with occasional chamber music opportunities. Musician openings: Trombone, Percussion, Timpani, and Harp. NIHCO performs works from underrepresented and living composers, alongside beloved classics! Next concert: Sat. June 8 in Bethesda.

On May 18, 2024, our concert partner the NIH Community Chorus will preview several selections in their own program, please visit the Chorus page for details.
