**Park Avenue Chamber Symphony** is a vibrant New York City-based ensemble that brings fresh energy to classical masterpieces. Founded and led by conductor David Bernard, this dynamic group specializes in delivering passionate performances of iconic symphonic works, from Beethoven’s revolutionary "Eroica" to Mahler’s emotionally charged Fifth Symphony. Their recent releases, like *Heroic: Beethoven's "Eroica" and Mahler's Fifth* and deep dives into Tchaikovsky’s symphonies, showcase their knack for balancing grand Romantic-era drama with precise, collaborative musicianship. They’re also champions of British classics, as heard in their album *This Sceptered Isle*, which highlights lush pieces by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Holst.

Known for blending professional polish with community spirit, the orchestra thrives on making complex works accessible and thrilling for audiences. Whether tearing through Tchaikovsky’s fiery finales or lingering in the haunting beauty of Mahler’s *Adagietto*, they infuse every performance with warmth and storytelling flair. Based on Park Avenue but embracing the whole city’s eclectic vibe, this ensemble is a must-listen for anyone craving classical music that feels both timeless and alive.
