During this time when we couldn’t be together, we have been busy with an exciting project with support from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and in partnership with the NYC Department of Correction. Over the next few months, The Chelsea Symphony will be releasing short videos highlighting the orchestra. Some will feature music, while others will be about TCS‘s unique model.

I am honored to have served for 7 years as President + Executive Director - I won't be a stranger but am passing the torch of leadership to the TCS board and interim ED Stephen McDougall Graham. Thank you for the music and the memories!

TCS is thrilled to welcome back founders Miguel Campos-Neto and Yaniv Segal as conductors laureate and in advisory roles to the orchestra!

On our one year coronaversary, we are long overdue in reaching out to say hello during these extraordinary times filled with so much extra, so much less, and so much ordinary all at the same time.

JOHN LITHGOW joins The Chelsea Symphony for our annual beloved tradition: Aaron Dai's The Night Before Christmas.

Michael Boyman's Double Concerto for Two Horns and Wind Ensemble is a celebration of idiomatic writing for the horn, from its legacy of heroic fanfares to beautiful chorale writing and sends up its hunting horn past with a cheeky look at the darker side of the woods. It receives its world premiere performance on March 6 and 7!
