The InterSchool Orchestras of New York (ISO) was founded in 1972 by Annabelle F. Prager as a response to the limited opportunities for school children in both public and private schools to play in an orchestra. It has since grown to include three beginning orchestras, an intermediate band, two intermediate orchestras, a symphonic band, and an advanced orchestra. An essential part of its mission is that no child ever be turned away because of lack of financial resources; [https://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/26/arts/music-notes.html?scp=3&sq=interschool%20orchestras&st=cse 50% of its students receive some financial aid], including all members of the top orchestra. Currently, it is led by Executive Director Karen Geer and Board President Barbara Tracy. Its music director for much of its history was the late[1][2] Jonathan Strasser. ISO was recognized by the League of American Orchestras with the 2004 Bank of America Award for excellence in orchestra education. Ensembles[3]The Morningside Orchestra welcomes beginners with basic skills on their instruments. Morningside Orchestra is conducted by Matthew Rotjan. The Carnegie Hill Orchestra, under the direction of Steven Rochen, provides further training for intermediate-level musicians, who perform original orchestral music and arrangements. The Concert Orchestra, conducted by Barry Stern, is made up of more advanced players. Musicians in the ISO Symphony is the ensemble of the most advanced players. Maestro Petko Dimitrov conducts the Symphony in the great works of the orchestral repertoire. PerformanceISO produces up to 20 concerts a year. All ensembles regularly perform Mainstage Concerts at prominent venues such as Symphony Space, Carnegie Hall, and Alice Tully Hall. They also perform a free Community Concert Series; venues include parks, festivals, places of worship, local arts centers, and care facilities. The ISO Symphony has toured internationally, most recently to Scotland in 2014 to take part in the Aberdeen International Youth Festival.[4] Other Programs[5]Older ISO students serve as mentors to younger musicians as part of the Student Mentor Program. Students playing less common instruments (viola, contrabass, French horn, oboe, and bassoon) can receive reduced-cost lessons through the Endangered Instrument Program.
