Widely acclaimed for bringing a unique musical perspective to New York City audiences, Riverside Symphony’s performances at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center and seven CDs confirm “discovery” as the orchestra’s guiding credo. Innovative programs combining lesser-known gems both old and new with beloved masterpieces also shine the spotlight on young soloists of exceptional promise.

Drawing on the legendary breadth and depth of New York City’s freelance musical community, conductor George Rothman and composer Anthony Korf, who co-founded the orchestra in 1981, have forged a team of supremely accomplished instrumentalists, comfortable with music in an amazingly wide range of styles and periods.

Beyond its success in the concert hall, Riverside Symphony is also well known for its citywide educational efforts. Since 1999, the orchestra has brought the joys of music to New York City public schools with its enriching Music Memory program, while engaging adults with its popular Salon Series and Hear Hear! preview performances.
