}}Discovery Ensemble was a Boston-based chamber orchestra[1] founded by Music Director Courtney Lewis and Artistic Director David St. George. The orchestra, made up of young professionals from the Boston area, gave its inaugural concert in October 2008.[2] It disappeared from the Boston music scene after an announcement cancelling the already advertised 2014 season.[3]

Discovery Ensemble had two missions. It was a chamber orchestra that performed to local acclaim in the Boston Globe[4][5] and the Boston Phoenix.[6][7][8][9] Concerts took place at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[10][11]

Discovery Ensemble's second mission was education. The orchestra presented four Discovery Programs per year, each consisting of two in-school workshops[12] and a matinee concert for children from local schools.[13] The schools' concerts took place at Strand Theatre in Dorchester, Massachusetts.[14]

Discovery Ensemble played live regularly on WGBH Radio and was featured as Critics’ Choice on NPR.[15][16] In December 2009, Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Lloyd Schwartz of the Boston Phoenix named Discovery Ensemble Boston's "Best Kept Secret".[17]

History

The orchestra played its first concert in October 2008 in the Strand Theatre, Dorchester with Ginastera’s Variaciones concertantes, Stravinsky’s Danses concertantes, and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.[2][14][18]

The orchestra was founded because directors Courtney Lewis and David St. George saw the possibility, given the abundance of young professional musicians in Boston, of forming and training a large (40 players) chamber orchestra that could perform at the highest international level.

Discovery Ensemble was particularly associated with schools and community centers in Dorchester.[13]
