Consisting of approximately 60 members from Asia, Europe, North America and Australia, the orchestra performs symphonic, chamber and educational concerts around Macau. The orchestra also tours mainland China 2 or 3 times per year and in 2007 performed in Jakarta, Indonesia. In Macau, the orchestra performs at the Macau Cultural Centre, San Domingo Church, Macau Tower and Dom Pedro V Theatre. The orchestra is run as a division of the Macau Cultural Institute (Instituto Cultural), the arts arm of the Macau government. Formed in 1983 by Father Aureo de Castro as the Macao Chamber Orchestra, the orchestra underwent a series of reviews and expansions, becoming a full-time professional ensemble in 2003.
