»The Chapman Orchestra
The Chapman Orchestra (TCO) is one of the top university symphony orchestras on the West Coast. Performing six concerts annually, TCO also stands out as one of the few academic orchestras to collaborate with Disney for live on-screen accompanied concerts. Past shows include beloved favorites like The Little Mermaid and Pixar's Coco. TCO’s performances take place at the Musco Center for the Arts on Chapman's campus, a state-of-the-art concert hall with acoustics perfected by the world-renowned architect Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics, known for his work on the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
