Celebrated for its conductorless performances and deeply collaborative artistry, Orpheus has spent more than 50 years bringing fresh energy and imagination to classical music through vibrant partnerships with guest artists. “Playing with perfect unanimity, their performances have polish and spirit and display an infectious love for making music” (The New York Times).
