The Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra is a professional orchestra from the Greater Hartford / New Britain area dedicated to presenting both traditional and contemporary classical chamber works to the public. The orchestra was established in 1997 under the auspices of the Polish-American Foundation of Connecticut.

Now in its eleventh Season, the Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, led by founder and Artistic Director, Adrian Mackiewicz, continues to grow in size and repertoire, performing more than twenty concert dates a year.

The mission of Virtuosi is to preserve and perpetuate the great traditions of chamber music through the expansion of its public performance season; its education series; and, by showcasing the excellence of regional talent. Special attention is given in the choice of repertoire to music from the Eastern Europe. Throughout New England, the group presents an annual season of several concerts a year.

Each year the orchestra makes an effort to enrich the community by providing, in addition to performances, other programs related to music making such as free tickets to the local schools, school performances, concerto competition, lectures etc. Over the last three years the orchestra expanded it's geographical outreach to include New London, Mystic, Meriden, CT, and New York City.

A frequent guest at the Kosciusko Foundation’s Chamber Music Series, in 2003 the Virtuosi was invited to perform at the Gala Concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of John Paul II papacy. In 2004, the group became the permanent orchestra of the newly formed Connecticut Lyric Opera.
