About us

The Grammy® Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is a leader in the exploration of classical and contemporary repertoire with roles as performer, educator, and innovator. The centerpiece of each Orpheus season has been its series at New York’s Carnegie Hall, alongside a prestigious concert series at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Orpheus tours on a regular basis throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, and offers education and outreach programs for children and adults from diverse communities.

Founded in 1972 by cellist Julian Fifer and a group of fellow musicians who aspired to present performances without a conductor, Orpheus is a self governing organization. Central to its distinctive personality is its practice of sharing and rotating leadership roles. For every work performed, the members of the orchestra select the concertmaster and principal players for each section.
