The Orchestra Now
The Orchestra Now is a vibrant New York-based ensemble that breathes new life into classical music by spotlighting overlooked gems and reimagined classics. Founded in 2015 by conductor and music historian Leon Botstein, the group features emerging professional musicians trained at Bard College, blending youthful energy with scholarly depth. Known for adventurous programming, they’ve released albums like *The Lost Generation* (showcasing interwar European composers) and *Bristow & Fry*, which revives 19th-century American Romantic works. Their catalog also includes clever orchestral adaptations—like Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” sonata transformed by Felix Weingartner and George Szell’s take on Smetana’s polka—plus modern collaborations such as the *Forte* film soundtrack. Whether resurrecting pre-WWII voices or supporting living composers, TŌN thrives on making the old feel fresh and the unfamiliar instantly gripping.
