The Orchestra of Northern New York (ONNY)

Welcome to The Orchestra of Northern New York's spectacular 21st season! As we begin our second twenty years, we look forward to once again bringing you great orchestral literature, brilliant soloists, and an orchestra comprised of inspired professional musicians from our region, the northeast, and Canada.

This year's outstanding array of concerts feature music that will satisfy the most eclectic audience. Enjoy a spectacular season of famous Russian masterpieces, Handel's incomparable Messiah, the vibrancy of Vivaldi, Great Heroes and Legends, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the music of Haydn and our traditional children's, family, and pops concerts.

We are also proud to present the third annual James and Katherine Andrews Young Artist Instrumental Competition that will spotlight one of our region's outstanding high school musicians. This continues to be one of the only competitions in the United Stated that offers monetary awards as well as the opportunity to solo with a professional orchestra.

Please join us during our 2008-2009 season and see why so many people have been enriched and thrilled with our concerts over the first twenty years.

Come hear your Orchestra!

Sincerely,

Kenneth Andrews, Music Director
