The San Francisco Chamber Orchestra (SFCO) is a professional chamber orchestra in San Francisco, California, that presents small orchestra and chamber ensemble performances in the Bay Area.
The SFCO was founded by Emanuel Leplin in 1952.[1][2] It gave its debut concert in April 1953 in Berkeley's Hillel Foundation, in a concert conducted by Leplin.[1] After Leplin was afflicted by polio in 1954,[1] management was taken over by conductors Edgar Braun and Adrian Sunshine.[3][4] The musicians in the early years were all members of the San Francisco Symphony.[4][5][6] Sunshine left in 1958, moving to Europe.[4][6] Braun served as music director and conductor until 2002, when violist Benjamin Simon was granted the post.[3][4][6]
