The Mission of the New England Philharmonic, a volunteer orchestra, is to foster the composition and the appreciation of contemporary classical music by performing commissions and recent works alongside traditional repertoire in concerts that engage and electrify audiences.
What Our Audience Says:
“Fresh, intelligent and emotionally powerful music, impeccably performed.”
“Thank you for continuing to champion living composers.”
“It's really great to hear contemporary orchestral works as the main attraction”
“Your devotion to presenting adventurous music…is remarkable and is valuable beyond measure.”
“I enjoyed hearing the stories and intentions behind the pieces from the composers.”
