The Hendrix College Chamber Orchestra was formed in 1990. The group averages 15 musicians and performs repertoire from all style periods in the Classical tradition including the Family Weekend Concert in mid-October, the Fall Semester Concert in mid-November, Waltz Night in Hulen Ballroom in February, and the Annual Concerto Competition Concert in the Spring.
