The Orchestra of St. Luke’s is one of the most recognizable musical organizations in the country, and a pivotal ambassador for orchestral and chamber music in the New York scene.

St. Luke’s performance arm is bilateral. The larger Orchestra of St. Luke’s performs annually in its reputable Carnegie Hall series and as orchestra-in-residence at the summertime Caramoor International Music Festival, where it first came into existence in 1979. The St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble, the elite core of Orchestra musicians, presents compelling chamber music programs at the Morgan Library and Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and in the town of Beacon upstate.

St. Luke’s presents a sparkling repertoire that ranges from the traditional Mozart and Beethoven to the modernist Schoenberg and Berg to living Americans William Bolcom and Phil Kline. The organization advances its creative presence with its esteemed Arts Education programs designed to cultivate a new generation of musicians, composers, and listeners.

Beginning in 2011, the newly built DiMenna Center for Classical Music will become the new home of St. Luke’s, serving as its creative and administrative hub, with new space for rehearsal and recording.
