Cornell Orchestras Tour

In January 2025, the Cornell Orchestras will embark on a five-day performance and community engagement tour in Boston, Massachusetts! Our featured performance will take place at the iconic New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, showcasing the talent and dedication of our members.

Beyond the concert, we will engage with the local community through a variety of outreach activities. We are partnering with Phillips Academy in Andover for a series of workshops and are also hosting members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for instrumental masterclasses. This tour, our first since 2019, is not just about performing—it’s about creating lasting connections and sharing the joy of music with the Boston community.

Please consider donating to our campaign. Every donation, no matter the size, will directly support our tour.
