The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas

About the Artist

Under the artistic vision of its Music Director, Alondra de la Parra, The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas embraces the concept of a contemporary ensemble that stresses the importance of high-caliber music from Latin America and the rest of the world. The orchestra is a laboratory for artistic expression, embracing a responsibility to support promising young performers, composers, instrumentalists, conductors and all kinds of diverse artists from Latin America and beyond. The orchestra strives to be an integral part of a twentieth-first century New York City, eager to share a heritage of passion for the music with a broad public.  Most importantly, the POA recognizs the need for breaking the boundaries and stereotypes of the traditional concert format out of the necessity to bring symphonic music back to be a relevant part of people’s life.
