New York Symphony Orchestras

New York orchestras are among the most widely known and respected in the world, but the city is also home to several youth, amateur and community symphonies. These NY orchestras offer the same high-quality entertainment and musical variety as their professional counterparts, with a diversity that reflects the city's diverse population and multi-layered history. And, many orchestras in NY make a special effort to bring music to the general public, through free outdoor concerts, and opportunities for young people and other aspiring musicians to showcase their talents.

Attending a New York City symphony orchestra is a great way to entertain potential clients or business associates, or you can give season or individual tickets to valued customers or employees to show your appreciation.

New York symphony orchestras are home to:

1. Professional groups that frequently host internationally known singers and musicians
2. Community NYC orchestras that offer free public concerts
3. Youth symphonies that offer high-caliber entertainment

Enjoy internationally known entertainment at a professional New York symphony

New York's professional orchestras are comprised of some of the best trained and most experienced musicians in the world. These symphonies offer both classical music and modern compositions, while also hosting world-renowned artists.
Try: The New York Philharmonic is probably the best-known symphony in New York; the American Symphony Orchestra is also well-respected, performing concerts at Lincoln Center, in addition to appearing at several festivals. The Riverside Symphony also performs at Lincoln Center, and regularly releases internationally acclaimed CDs. The Chamber Orchestra of New York is a professional orchestra dedicated to offering performance opportunities for young professional musicians.

Support amateur musicians by attending a community NYC symphony concert

Just as New York's professional symphonies strive to bring music to the people, community and amateur orchestra groups spotlight the talents of the general public. Many of these orchestras are just as respected as their more famous siblings, while also offering more community-oriented events.
Try: Check out a performance by the Musica Bella Orchestra of New York, a non-professional, not-for-profit orchestra founded in 2001, or a concert from the NYU Community Orchestra, which includes students from New York University, in addition to community members.

See the future of orchestral music at a New York youth symphony orchestra

New York is one city that makes a special effort to encourage the artistic talents of its younger population. These youth orchestras are just as professional and rigorously trained as adult musicians, and many tour the world just as often. And, despite their youth, these musicians live up to the musical reputation New York is known for.
Try: See New York's youngest musicians at a performance of the New York Youth Symphony, or the Youth Orchestra at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University.

Book a New York symphony orchestra for your next corporate event

Many smaller orchestras primarily play private events such as awards ceremonies, banquets or other corporate functions, and can make your company's next event something employees will look forward to attending.
Try: New York Orchestras features the Central Park Orchestra, seen on LIVE with Regis and Kelly, and is also home to the East Village Orchestra. Larry King Productions includes bands and orchestras, classical groups, string trios and quartets, and pianists and harpists.

Many NYC orchestras also air their performances on the radio, allowing you to enjoy top-notch musical entertainment even if you can't make it to the theater. Their websites usually include airtimes, as will the websites for the radio stations that feature their concerts.
