Who you are supporting

Fifteen years of great music for everyone.

The New Westchester Symphony Orchestra gives amateur instrumental musicians in and around Westchester County the chance to grow their skills in a supportive, noncompetitive setting while performing significant orchestral and ensemble works.

Founded in 2011, we now put more than fifty musicians on stage together every season. Your gift is what lets that keep happening.

Where your gift goes

Four things that keep the orchestra playing.

  • Rehearsal and performance venues. A room big enough for a full orchestra, every week.
  • Guest soloists and concert subs. The players who raise the level of everyone around them.
  • Conductor and concertmaster stipends. The leadership that turns fifty players into one sound.
  • The platforms that keep us organized. Everything running behind the scenes so rehearsal starts on time.

This fall

We are playing Dvořák's New World Symphony.

It is a piece written by someone far from home, listening hard to the music of a country he had just arrived in. It has become one of the most beloved symphonies ever written, and it is exactly the kind of work a community orchestra exists to give people the chance to play.

A symphony about arriving somewhere new, played by an orchestra built on welcoming people in.

Our fall concert is on Saturday, November 7. Your gift helps put it on stage.
