History
Celebrating its 19th season this year, the New Century Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1992 by musicians looking for fresh, exciting new ways to present classical music in the San Francisco Bay Area and to communicate more vividly with audiences.The concertmaster chooses the programs and guides the artistic vision, but the New Century Chamber Orchestra perform without a conductor. In addition to performing classic pieces of chamber orchestra repertoire, New Century commissions important new works, breathes life into rarely heard jewels of the past, performs world premieres, and brings pieces from other genres such as jazz and rock into the chamber orchestra setting. New Century's mission is to bring outstanding chamber orchestra performances to Bay Area communities. They perform in intimate venues with excellent acoustics, great sightlines and welcoming atmospheres around the Bay Area.
