The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra (Finnish: Keski-Pohjanmaan Kamariorkesteri) is one of Finland’s most internationally recognised chamber orchestras. Founded in 1972 by conductor Juha Kangas, it has grown from a student ensemble into a professional orchestra known for its energetic, flexible, and distinctive sound.

The orchestra’s repertoire spans from Baroque music to contemporary works, with a strong commitment to new music. It has premiered more than 190 compositions and maintains close collaborations with Finnish and international composers, soloists, and conductors. The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra tours regularly in Finland and abroad and has released an extensive catalogue of recordings that have contributed to its international reputation.

In 1993, the orchestra was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize and is today regarded as one of the leading chamber orchestras in the Nordic countries.
