Parlando

Parlando is a chamber orchestra based in New York City created to bring educational and accessible classical music concerts to wider audiences. By integrating dialogue with historical and musical context within short programs, Parlando seeks to remove the barriers to entry to classical music concerts without compromising the music. Founded in 2019, Parlando brings educational classical music programs to schools, community centers, and other local venues, curating specific programs for each audience, taking age and background into account. Classical music has never been composed or performed in a vacuum, and Parlando seeks to explore and highlight the rich, varied contexts that surround the art form.
