"A symbiosis of players and audience", The New York Times

Founded in New York City in 1976 by six musicians, the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra ("NASO") showcases emerging young conductors, soloists and composers. NASO also pays tribute to seasoned artists by providing them with the opportunity to perform special programs in New York City. During the past 35 years, NASO has presented over 150 concerts in venues including Symphony Space, Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Fordham at Lincoln Center and the Riverside Church. Many young artists that NASO has featured in the early stages of their careers have become prominent in the music world including George Manahan, Music Director of the New York City Opera, pianist Ursula Oppens, cellist Colin Carr, guitarist Elliot Fisk, cellist Nathaniel Rosen , violinist Stephanie Chase, The Amadeus Trio, and The Quintet of the Americas.

We our proud to announce the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra's 35th anniversary season. We would like to welcome our newly appointed Principal Conductor Guerguan Tsenov, and the return of Matthew Oberstein, now Special Guest Conductor.

Also, as part of our 35th Anniversary celebration, we have put together a "Where are they now?" feature, which details some of our previous conductor's accomplishments. Read the article here.
