Orchestra of St. Luke’s

Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL) began in 1974 as a group of virtuoso musicians performing chamber music concerts at Greenwich Village’s Church of St. Luke in the Fields.  Now in its 43rd season, the Orchestra performs over 80 concerts a year, at 19 different venues, in all five boroughs of New York City.  Nearly half of OSL’s performances are presented for free through its education and community programs, reaching over 10,000 New York City public school students annually. OSL built and operates The DiMenna Center for Classical Music in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City’s only rehearsal, recording, education, and performance space dedicated to classical music. It serves more than 500 ensembles and more than 30,000 musicians each year.
