The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra began in 1972 as a group of young artists made history by creating an orchestra without a conductor. Since then, the Grammy Award-winning Orchestra has recorded more than 70 albums on all major classical labels, toured to 46 countries on four continents and collaborated with hundreds of world-class soloists. While continuing to work together as a collective and rotate leadership roles for all works performed, producing some authentic and unconventional interpretations.
