  • The New York Chamber Symphony (NYCS) was an American chamber orchestra based in New York City. It was active from 1977 to 2002. It was founded in 1977 by its founding music director Gerard Schwarz, and Omus Hirshbein. Its original name was the Y Chamber Symphony, and it was the resident ensemble at the 92nd Street Y, where Hirshbein was director of music programming. The orchestra changed its name to the New York Chamber Symphony in 1986 and in 1996 moved to Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. It also presented, each season, free concerts in Central Park under the sponsorship of the Naumburg Foundation, and conducted several tours. The orchestra's membership included many of New York City's finest classical musicians, a number of whom teach at the Juilliard School, the Peabody Conservatory, Yale University, and the Eastman School of Music. Guest artists who have performed with the New York Chamber Symphony early in their careers include Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Dawn Upshaw, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Yefim Bronfman, Joshua Bell, Hélène Grimaud, Horacio Gutiérrez, and Hilary Hahn. It was also known for its performances of contemporary music, commissioning works from composers such as David Diamond, Bright Sheng, Richard Danielpour, and Aaron Jay Kernis. Each year, it presented and recorded concerts of world premieres by American composers, under the sponsorship of the Master Musicians Collective. In 1993, the symphony won an award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for its commitment to new music programs. In June 2000, the orchestra received a $100,000 challenge grant from the Knight Foundation to begin work on a new music/audience development project designed to accomplish the selection of new music by the orchestra musicians and their audiences. The orchestra has released more than 20 recordings. It has recorded works by such American composers as Paul Creston, David Diamond, Howard Hanson, and Walter Piston, as part of Delos Records' American Masters Series. It has also recorded for the Angel/EMI, Nonesuch, Pro Arte, and RCA Red Seal labels. The orchestra has received three Grammy Award nominations for its recordings of works by Aaron Copland and Howard Hanson. In 2000, the Symphony was engaged to play for Brazil's 500th Anniversary celebration at Lincoln Center. In 2002 the New York Chamber Symphony cancelled its upcoming (2002-2003) season after Schwarz announced his decision to resign his post as music director after the 2001-2002 season (the Symphony's 25th), in order to focus on his new position as director of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and his ongoing commitment to the Seattle Symphony. A successor could not be found, nor funding secured to continue the Symphony's activities. (en)

Presentava inoltre, ogni stagione, concerti gratuiti al Central Park con il patrocinio della Fondazione Naumburg e ha effettuato diversi tour. I membri dell'orchestra comprendevano molti dei migliori musicisti classici di New York City, un certo numero dei quali insegnano alla Juilliard School, il Peabody Conservatory, l'Università Yale e la Eastman School of Music. Gli artisti ospiti che si sono esibiti con la New York Chamber Symphony all'inizio della loro carriera comprendono Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Dawn Upshaw, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Yefim Bronfman, Joshua Bell, Hélène Grimaud, Horacio Gutiérrez, and Hilary Hahn. Era noto anche per le sue esecuzioni di musica contemporanea, per comporre opere su commissione di compositori come David Diamond, Bright Sheng, Richard Danielpour e Aaron Jay Kernis. Ogni anno ha presentato e registrato concerti di prime assolute di compositori americani, sotto il patrocinio dei Master Musicians Collective. Nel 1993, ha vinto un premio dalla American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) per il suo impegno a nuovi programmi musicali. Nel giugno 2000, l'orchestra ha ricevuto una sovvenzione di $ 100,000 da parte del Knight Foundation per affrontare l'impegno di iniziare a lavorare su un nuovo progetto di sviluppo "musica / pubblico" progettato per realizzare la scelta di nuova musica da parte dei musicisti dell'orchestra e del loro pubblico. L'orchestra ha pubblicato più di 20 registrazioni. Ha registrato opere di compositori americani come Paul Creston, David Diamond, Howard Hanson, e Walter Piston, come parte di Delos Records' American Masters Series. Ha inoltre registrato per le etichette Angel/EMI, Nonesuch, Pro Arte, e RCA Red Seal. L'orchestra ha ricevuto tre nomination ai Grammy Award per le sue registrazioni di opere di Aaron Copland e Howard Hanson. Nel 2000 la Sinfonia fu ingaggiata a suonare per la celebrazione del 500º anniversario del Brasile al Lincoln Center. Nel 2002 il New York Chamber Symphony annullò la sua prossima stagione (2002-2003) dopo che Schwarz ebbe annunciato la sua decisione di dimettersi dalla sua carica di direttore musicale al termine della stagione 2001-2002 (25º anniversario dell'Orchestra), al fine di concentrarsi sulla sua nuova posizione di direttore della Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra e dato anche il suo costante impegno per l'Orchestra Sinfonica di Seattle. Non fu trovato un successore né si riuscì ad ottenere finanziamenti per proseguire le attività della Symphony. (it)
