Thank you. Using sitename:"HR & O" did the trick.

First, on troubleshooting... add &debugQuery=true to your request to
Solr and see how your query parses.  You'll see output sorta like
this (example using wt=ruby):

   'rawquerystring'=>'(tang)',
   'querystring'=>'\\(tang\\)',
   'parsedquery'=>'+DisjunctionMaxQuery((text:tang^1.9)~0.01)
DisjunctionMaxQuery((title_text:tang^2.2 | isbn_text:tang^5.0 |
author_text:tang^0.5 | call_number_text:tang^5.0)~0.01)',
   'parsedquery_toString'=>'+(text:tang^1.9)~0.01
(title_text:tang^2.2 | isbn_text:tang^5.0 | author_text:tang^0.5 |
call_number_text:tang^5.0)~0.01',

Possible solutions for you:

   - sitename:(HR & O)

OR

   - sitename:"HR & O"

Depending on how you're analyzing (or not) that field.
