Founded in 2018, the Helsinki Chamber Orchestra is a Finnish orchestra based in Helsinki that specialises in chamber orchestra repertoire ranging from early music to contemporary music.

The orchestra strives to produce high-quality performances of Western classical music written for chamber orchestra or chamber ensemble, to bring classical music to new audiences through accessible performances and well-constructed concert programmes, and to celebrate the diversity of classical music by performing works in a wide range of styles and championing lesser-known works. In addition, with the support of major institutions such as the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the French Institute of Finland and the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, the Orchestra aims to promote young talent in the classical music industry.

One of the central tenets of the Helsinki Chamber Orchestra is the importance of chamber music and the individual musical responsibility of each player. The enhanced communication and awareness between the players, combined with the advanced ensemble playing skills, results in a unique synergy within the orchestra.
