The Concord Orchestra

About Us:

The Concord Orchestra is composed of 70 musicians living in Concord, Massachusetts and the greater Boston metropolitan area. Richard Pittman, the versatile founder and music director of Boston Musica Viva, has been the music director and conductor of the Concord Orchestra since 1969. The orchestra was founded in 1953, making 2013 our 60th season.

Each year one of our concerts features a performer from one of the Boston area schools who has won our Young Artist Competition. The winner also receives a cash prize from the Ehlers Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was founded in memory of Charles and Arlene Ehlers.
