The All-Star Orchestra gives you a front row seat to the world's greatest music and the map to an unforgettable musical journey. The All-Star Orchestra began with a commitment to classical music education and contemporary American composers. We invited leading musicians from American orchestras to be a part of it. And we created a new format so that more people can enjoy, explore, and experience the life-changing wonder of symphonic music. The All-Star Orchestra's thrilling performances, filmed in high-definition with 19 cameras during a once-a-year "summit" in New York's historic The Grand at Manhattan Center, will inspire audiences for classical music via public television, DVDs, and websites dedicated to music education.
