We Are Going on Tour to the Dominican Republic!

This coming spring, the Cornell Orchestras are traveling to the Dominican Republic from March 29 to April 5, 2027, for a special tour combining performances, educational outreach, and cultural exchange. We will be premiering Aquino’s Folklofonía, commissioned by the Cornell Orchestras and performing Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 63, featuring violinist Ariana Kim, and Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture.

Support the Orchestras!

The Cornell Orchestras rely on the generosity of our friends, alumni, and community to sustain our mission of artistic excellence, education, and outreach. Your donation directly supports our students and helps fund essential needs, from performance and rehearsal expenses to guest artist collaborations, instrument maintenance, and future touring opportunities.

Your support also helps make transformative experiences possible. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to travel to Boston in January 2025, where our musicians performed at the New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, led workshops with students at Phillips Academy Andover, and participated in masterclasses with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. These experiences deepened our musicians’ artistry and fostered meaningful community connections.

Looking ahead, we aim to continue creating opportunities that inspire both our students and the communities we reach, whether through on-campus performances, outreach programs, or future tours that showcase the incredible dedication of our members.

Cornell Orchestras alumni have cited our past tours to Taiwan, Argentina, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Germany, and most recently Boston, as some of the most impactful experiences of their Cornell careers. We need your support to continue providing this valuable opportunity for our students and communities!

Thank you for supporting the Cornell Orchestras and our mission to promote artistic excellence, collegiality, and a lifelong engagement with music!
