Hi there, we're Orpheus, a chamber orchestra based in New York that's been baton-free since '73.

This is a safe space for all of your conductor jokes. It's also the place where we will shamelessly plug our performances, recordings, and give you a glimpse behind the scenes.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Christof Huebner, Orpheus violist and former artistic director. A part of the Orpheus family for 27 years, he was a dedicated musician and valued colleague, whose sharp wit left a lasting impact both on and off the stage. He will be deeply missed. ⁠
