Choose your own sound adventure while traveling! ROCO on the Go allows music lovers to listen to ROCO’s vast catalogue from anywhere! Each playlist features a different mood category of music to allow the listener to choose their mood.

Known as “the most fun you can have with serious music,” ROCO was founded in 2005 by parishioner, oboist, and Juilliard graduate, Alecia Lawyer. After multiple experiences in other musical start-ups, she saw the need for a sustainable and thriving model that would focus on authentic connections between musicians and audiences. Her work of “Wildcatting in the Arts” has expanded through a vibrant and multi-talented team that has made ROCO known for its dedication to living and diverse composers, multigenerational audiences, and free access to classical music for all.

Since its inception, ROCO has been The Church of St. John the Divine’s resident chamber orchestra. Since 2013, ROCO’s concerts have been live-streamed from its acoustically superb sanctuary. ROCO Musicians have also been featured in major concerts by the SJD Chorale, including Handel’s Messiah and the Brahms Requiem.

Experience ROCO at St. John the Divine live this season in the Albert and Margaret Alkek Foundation In Concert Series, in September, February, and April!
