Litha Symphony Orchestra – Past Concerts
Through invigorating interpretations from the symphonic literature, as well as arrangements of works realized anew, Litha Symphony Orchestra is committed to bringing the excitement and energy of summer to its audiences and musicians alike.
Litha Symphony Orchestra was founded in early 2012 by a group of musicians who wanted to create an outlet for performing classical orchestral music in the New York metropolitan area during the summer, which is traditionally the off-season for most orchestras. As the full orchestra performs mostly during the summer season, the orchestra decided to use the name "Litha" – the celebration of the summer solstice – as the signature name for the organization.
