The Blue Heron Charitable Orchestra (BHCO) was founded in Vienna with a singular vision: to unite artistic excellence with humanitarian purpose. In an age where the world longs for connection and meaning, BHCO brings together distinguished musicians to create concerts that are not only artistically inspiring but also socially transformative.

Led by Artistic Director and Conductor Ying Xu, BHCO presents performances in some of Europe’s most beautiful venues, while forging partnerships with leading charities. Each concert is both a celebration of music and a call to action: proceeds support children and communities in need, ensuring that beauty resonates beyond the concert hall.

At BHCO, music is more than performance — it is a form of service, a way to build community, and a bridge between cultures. Our mission is clear: to let every note played carry with it the power to uplift, to connect, and to change lives.
