New Haven's Premier Chamber Orchestra

Welcome to the home of the New Haven Chamber Orchestra! 

We are an intergenerational community orchestra with a dual mission: to bring the wonderful realm of orchestral chamber music to the greater New Haven community and to promote literacy through music.  

The New Haven Chamber Orchestra performs three concerts a year.  Come join us for these FREE concerts and experience the joy of chamber music for yourself!
