History & Future

Now in its 37th year, Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL) is one of America’s foremost and most versatile ensembles. Dedicated to engaging audiences throughout New York City and beyond, OSL performs approximately 70 concerts each year—including an annual chamber music series at The Morgan Library & Museum and Brooklyn Museum, an orchestra series at Carnegie Hall, and a summer residency at Caramoor International Music Festival. OSL collaborates regularly with the world’s great artists on the world's great stages. Committed to community-building, OSL produces free concerts in each of the five boroughs, and has engaged more than one million children in its arts education programs. OSL’s stellar 70+ discography includes four releases on its own label, St. Luke’s Collection, and four Grammy Award-winning recordings.

The Fund for the Future, launched in 2008 is OSL’s capital and endowment campaign supporting the purchase and renovation of The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, as well as special endowment funds for OSL’s artistic initiatives, arts education programs, and orchestra operations. As New York City’s singular rehearsal, recording and learning center, The DiMenna Center is OSL’s artistic and administrative home, and is an unparalleled resource serving the needs of the entire musical community through affordable, state-of-the-art facilities.
