Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra

The Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, Harvard’s premier symphony orchestra, known for musical excellence and rare levels of student musicianship, has captivated audiences since 1808 with its powerful and thought-provoking performances and has cultivated some of the world’s most brilliant future classical performers. In addition to its four professional-quality annual concerts and biennial international tours, members dedicate significant time and resources to inspiring greater Boston communities through youth music education and elder care. With Music Director Federico Cortese, an entirely student-run board, a 100+ member symphonic roster, and an engaged alumni base of more than 2,800, the orchestra strives for musical excellence and community enrichment at home and abroad.
