The GRAMMY® Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has invigorated international audiences and critics alike with its superior artistry, energy, and distinctive approach to music-making. Orpheus is committed to illuminating both classic orchestral repertoire and new works by contemporary composers. Over its history, Orpheus has built a legacy through its acclaimed recordings, performances, and collaborations with the world’s most dynamic and esteemed soloists. In addition to extensive national and international touring, the orchestra presents an annual concert series at Carnegie Hall and appears regularly at major New York venues.
Orpheus’ 2009-2010 season continues its tradition of collaboration with today’s leading soloists and composers, including performances with pianist Angela Hewitt, violinists Janine Jansen and Ryu Goto, oboist Albrecht Mayer, and cellist Truls Mørk. The orchestra concludes its multi-year New Brandenburg commissioning project with premieres by Aaron Jay Kernis and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
The Orpheus recording legacy consists of over 70 albums, including the Grammy® Award-winning Shadow Dances: Stravinsky Miniatures. In 2007 Orpheus released a recording of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with Sarah Chang on EMI Classics. Their latest album, with pianist Jonathan Biss, was released in the fall of 2008. Orpheus’ extensive catalog includes albums on the Deutsche Grammophon, EMI Classics, Decca, SONY Classical, and Nonesuch labels.
A self-governing organization, Orpheus was founded in 1972 by cellist Julian Fifer and a group of fellow musicians who aspired to perform diverse orchestral repertoire using chamber music ensemble techniques. Today, Orpheus continues this philosophy, performing without a conductor and rotating musical leadership roles for each work.

Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.
