The Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra is a professional orchestra from
the Greater Hartford / New Britain area consisting of an Artistic Director
and approximately twenty musicians who are 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.
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 Hartford, Mystic, Meriden, CT, and New York City.
