The Winchester Orchestra was founded by Maestro Andrew Gekoskie in June of 2008. The Winchester Orchestra is committed to changing lives through music’s extraordinary power to communicate, and thus inspire, uplift, educate and entertain. We are dedicated to challenging classical performance boundaries by offering fresh interpretations of the standard orchestral repertoire as well as the discovery of new and unusual works. Through live performances that are evocative, dramatic, and passionate we seek to develop new audiences of all ages for classical music.
So as to better serve the community, The Winchester Orchestra believes in collaboration rather than competition with existing community arts organizations.
The Winchester Orchestra is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization.
The Winchester Orchestra is committed to:
Increasing the awareness of, and support for, music written for orchestra
Developing new audiences for classical music
Producing regional performances and outreach programs, especially at schools, universities, churches, and other appropriate venues in order to serve more constituents and communities
Touring throughout the United States and in other countries throughout the world
