Our Purpose & History
Among the many pioneers on the Austin music scene, the Creative Opportunity Orchestra stands as one of the boldest and certainly the jazziest. Beginning in 1980, CO2 dared to cross the unknown frontiers of avant-garde jazz and improvisational music. Led by Texas Hall of Fame vocalist Tina Marsh, whose singing has been called “scat to the highest power,” CO2 set out to break free of the pressures of commercial nightclub performance and explore composition and improvisation possibilities in a large-group format. With innovative compositions, laced with free-form inventions and the unique vocalizations of Marsh, CO2 has accelerated the genre into the modern age with an avant-garde jazz sound mixed with a world music sensibility. Originally consisting of 20 members, the orchestra has involved more than 200 musicians over its 26 years, including guest artists such as Roscoe Mitchell, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Billy Hart, and Kenny Wheeler.
Our generous supporters:
Creative Opportunity Orchestra is funded in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division, the Texas Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Aaron Copland Fund, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Chamber Music America, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Still Water Foundation, SBC Foundation, with generous help from the Austin Lyric Opera, Epistrophy Arts, DiverseArts, Blue Lapis Light, Greenlights, Zachary Scott Theatre, and Sharir+Bustamante DanceWorks.
