COMMUNITY IS EXCELLENCE
Our Mission
The New England Repertory Orchestra endeavors to dismantle the exclusivity of symphonic music as a discipline and build pathways for all to realize a true place for themselves within the performance, study, and support of this art form. NERO seeks to empower, feature, and champion artists of color, and focuses on the presence of our orchestral musicians, and their work, in the greater community.
GET TO KNOW US
Collaborative Partnership
At New England Repertory Orchestra, we provide a place for local professional musicians to thrive and are ready to partner with other organizations -- schools, theaters, arts organizations, arts presenters -- to create experiences and performances that truly make an impact. All of our musicians are also educators, community leaders, or professionals in other creative fields.
