The New York Symphonic Ensemble is a chamber orchestra composed for the most part of leading members from the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. The Ensemble was formed in 1979 under the direction of Mamoru Takahara at the urging of musicians who wanted an additional outlet for their talents as well as an opportunity to interpret a repertoire not usually performed by a fullsize by a fullsize orchestra.
The Ensemble appears frequently in the United States and abroad. In addition to performances at Lincoln Centre’s Alice Tully Hall and The Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C., the orchestra has been invited to appear at PepsiCo’s Summerfare at SUNY Purchase, the Dag Hammarskjold Library Auditorium at the United Nations, Cooper Union, and St.Paul’s Chapel at Columbia University in New York City as well as the Port of History Museum in Philadelphia and Hartt College of Music at the University of Hartfold.
Recently, the New York Symphonic Ensemble returned from its fourth consecutive tour of Japan where in 1988 the group performed an unprecedented concert at the ancient Toshodaiji Temple in Nara in commemoration of the 1,300th anniversary of the birth of the Buddhist sage, a renowned Shinto shrine and is recognized, along with the Toshodaiji Temple, as a Japanese national treasure as well as the Tokyo station and the Meiji shrine in Tokyo.
