New York Chamber Symphony

It was founded in 1977 by its founding music director Gerard Schwarz, and Omus Hirshbein. Its original name was the Y Chamber Symphony, and it was the resident ensemble at the 92nd Street Y, where Hirshbein was director of music programming. The orchestra changed its name to the New York Chamber Symphony in 1986 and in 1996 moved to Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. It also performed, in two seasons, four free concerts in Central Park presented by the Naumburg Orchestral Concerts, (1999-2000) and conducted several tours. wikipedia
