Croatian Chamber Orchestra
was founded in 1988. Its founding was encouraged by the Croatian Association of Orchestral and Chamber Musicians.. The idea was put forward by Anđelko Ramušćak who wanted to instigate performing orchestral literature for chamber orchestras, as well as to give a chance to young musicians to present themselves and gain experience. In the year of 1989 the leadership of the orchestra was taken on by a young Japanese conductor Kazushi Ono, who came to Zagreb at that time as a conductor of Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra. Under his leadership the orchestra performed baroque and classical works, but started playing 20th century authors, especially Croatian composers.
In 1991, when the world celebrated the 200th anniversary from Mozart's death, the orchestra had its acclaimed concerts, conducted by the internationally renowned bassoonist Rudolf Klepač. Pavle Dešpalj, a notable Croatian conductor and composer became the chief-conductor in the season 1995/96. Today Pavle Dešpalj is a lifelong honorary chief-conductor of the Croatian Chamber Orchestra.
The Orchestra celebrate their 25th anniversary in the season 2015/16 by giving a series of six concerts in the Croatian Music Institute.

PARMA Recordings, together with the esteemed Croatian Chamber Orchestra, is proud to release Beneath the Tide, a reflection on human emotion and experience through a collection of five concertos. As the title suggests, Beneath the Tide looks under the surface, examining underlying human realities that rise to the surface with the arrival of life’s changes. Beneath the Tide starts off with Clarinet Concertos by Michael G. Cunningham. A weighty, dissonant performance, the solo clarinet is carried by the sometimes urgent, sometimes quietly brooding harmonies of the orchestra. Clarinet Concertos is followed by Rain Worthington’s In Passages for string orchestra, where the solo violin and orchestra pass the lead voice back and forth. Ssu-Yu Huang’s Guitar Concerto No. 1 is a reflection on nostalgia after moving to a foreign country. The guitar’s voice, which sings a motif inspired by a Hengchun folksong “Nostalgia,” is balanced by the accompanying orchestra, conveying the sudden outbursts of suppressed emotions that one in the midst of melancholy may experience. Bruce Reiprich’s Lullaby, written upon the birth of a friend’s child, is a harmonically lush composition for violin solo and orchestra. Tender and sentimental, the piece reflects on the wonder of new life and the love that comes as people gather to help a child grow. Beneath the Tide concludes with the triumphant Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by Beth Mehocic—triumphant not only in character, but also for the fact that the piece has finally been brought to life after its creation 40 years ago. The piece, which had been considered “too conventional” by Mehocic’s instructors, is a grand, thematic performance with bright brass, lively percussion, and swooping piano gestures, and its entry into the listening sphere is not to be missed. Beneath the Tide provides a stunning look into the minds of five composers, as well as a reflection on the human experience itself. Demonstrating the multifacetedness of the recording orchestra, and the limitlessness of the denotation “concerto,” Beneath the Tide is a first-rate classical experience.
