Hello! The Horizon Ensemble is a community orchestra based in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in May 2021, we present concerts of chamber and orchestral music in the historic Church of the Covenant on Newbury Street in Back Bay. Since our first concert in June 2021, we've presented nine concerts of exciting music thus far, with the tenth to come this Saturday, February 24!
Each of our concerts features at least one piece by a young living composer. Thus far, we're collaborated with 18 friends to present their works on our events, many of whom are students and graduate students in the Boston area. We're proud to support the careers and development of young composers by championing the performance of their large-ensemble works!
And in addition to new works, we also perform music by composers of history. This not only includes well-loved names such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn, and Maurice Ravel, but also composers whose time in the spotlight is blossoming today. For example, we've included works by Louise Farrenc, William Grant Still, and Fanny Hensel.
