THE HORIZON ENSEMBLE
Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Horizon Ensemble is an orchestra that performs music of history and music by friends. We are dedicated to performing orchestral and chamber music by young living composers alongside the diverse repertoire of history. Founded in May 2021, in the past four years, we’ve performed eighteen amazing concerts here in the heart of Boston!
Music by Friends
Every Horizon Ensemble concert features at least one piece by a young living composer. So far, we’ve collaborated with 22 different composer friends to present their new works, including 14 world premieres! By supporting the development of emerging composers, we are investing in the future of composition and building community in the music world.
Music from History
We draw from the rich repertoire of the past to color our performances. Through historical and musical research, we present a wide variety of pieces from history. This includes a lot of music by women and by composers of color, whose music we are committed to featuring as part of our concert programs!
Music for Everyone
Our primary mission is to build community between artists and audiences of Boston and beyond. Towards this goal, our concerts are all free, both in-person and by livestream, and physically accessible to guests with disabilities. We want everyone to enjoy our music, from classical newcomers to veterans. Towards this goal, our shows are welcoming, friendly, and informative, thanks to concert speeches and program notes.
