About New Century Chamber Orchestra

One of only a handful of conductorless chamber ensembles in the world, New Century Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1992 and includes 19 string players from the San Francisco Bay Area as well as throughout the United States. Musical decisions are made collaboratively, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment from the musicians and concerts of remarkable precision, passion, and power.

With a commitment to the virtuosic performance of chamber orchestra masterworks, New Century also expands the genre through frequent commissions of new music and innovative collaborations with artists from other genres. New Century fosters an intimate relationship with music, not only by offering concerts in small, local venues throughout the Bay Area and beyond, but also by connecting our musical history to the work of living composers and the cultural narratives of today. Recently commissioned composers include Tan Dun, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Jennifer Higdon, Mark Adamo, Jungyoon Wie, Jake Heggie, and Nicolás Lell Benavides.

The New Century Chamber Orchestra Trio Concert is a part of Music at Mechanics', a live music series in Mechanics' Institute's historic downtown spaces.
