River Oaks Chamber Orchestra
The River Oaks Chamber Orchestra (ROCO) is a Houston (TX) based Chamber Orchestra founded in 2005 by Principal Oboist Alecia Lawyer. Now in its fourth season, the program includes classical music as well as compositions from contemporary composers (e.g. Carter Pann). The participating musicians represent outstanding players from the national professional community. Among the conductors are JoAnn Falletta, Joel Smirnoff, Mei Ann Chen and Alastair Willis. ROCO performs occasionally without conductor.
