The Orchestra of Northern New York (ONNY)

For 23 years, The Orchestra of Northern New York has brought you live, local, professional music supported by you, our listeners! 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.

As in the past, we hope to dazzle the most eclectic tastes and ears of our audience with a wonderful variety of great concerts from such sumptuous offerings as A Night at the Opera and A Mozart, Barber and Schumann Celebration, to the brilliance of Baroque ceremonial music (including Handel's incomparable Water Music), great music of from film (Sounds of the Cinema) as well as a concert that celebrates the stirring words of Chief Seattle from 1854 in Circle of Faith and Beethoven's rousing Symphony No. 7. In addition, please join us for our ever popular pops series both at Christmas with the highly celebrated American Boy Choir (CPS Presents: Carols of Christmas) and our summer pops concert celebrating July 4th and music from space in Out of this World!

We are also proud to present the fifth annual James and Katherine Andrews Young Artist Instrumental Competition that will spotlight one of our region's outstanding young artists. This continues to be one of the only competitions in the United States that offers monetary awards as well as the opportunity to solo with a professional orchestra. Please join us during our 2010-2011 season and see why so many people have been enriched and thrilled with the artistry and passion of our concerts over the years.

Come hear your Orchestra!

Sincerely,

Kenneth Andrews, Music Director
