Mission Statement
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s mission is to create extraordinary musical experiences that enrich lives and empower individuals through collaboration, innovation, and a passion for artistic excellence. The orchestra strives to achieve this mission by performing music at the highest level without a conductor, challenging artistic boundaries, inspiring the public to think and work with new perspectives, and building a broad and active audience in its hometown of New York City, across the United States, and around the world.
About This Cause
Founded in 1972, the Grammy Award-winning ensemble has performed without the use of a conductor since its inception. Musicians rotate leadership roles for all rehearsals and performances as well as organizational capacities such as programming and governance. Orpheus has recorded over 70 albums on all major classical labels, including a February 2019 release on Deutsche Grammophon of Mendelssohn concertos with pianist Jan Lisiecki. Orpheus presents an annual performance series in New York City featuring collaborations with world-class guest soloists. A touring ensemble, Orpheus has performed in major international venues across 167 cities in 46 countries across four continents and has appeared regularly in Japan for 30 years. Orpheus has trademarked its signature method, the Orpheus Process®, that places democracy at the center of artistic execution. Orpheus musicians interpret, develop, and play music as an equal collective and without a conductor. Orpheus performances give flight to vibrant, unconventional interpretations and unfold dynamically, moment-by-moment, creating an energy shared by musicians and audiences alike. It has been the focus of studies at Harvard University and leadership seminars at IBM, Morgan Stanley, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital, among others. Orpheus aims to bring its unique approach to students and listeners of all ages through its worldwide education and community engagement programs: Access Orpheus for New York City public school students; Orpheus Music Academy for intermediate to pre-professional music students; Orpheus Leadership Institute for teams wanting to learn from Orpheus’ unique democratic process; and Orpheus Reflections a program bringing the healing power of music to people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and their caregivers.
