Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is a renowned ensemble composed of highly skilled musicians dedicated to performing classical music. Founded in 1972, they are known for their innovative approach to making music without a conductor, relying instead on collaborative leadership among the musicians. This allows for closer communication, flexibility, and a more democratic process in their performances. Orpheus emphasizes chamber music principles—intimate, interactive, and expressive—while tackling a broad repertoire of classical and contemporary works. Their approach has set a standard for excellence and creativity in the world of orchestral music.
