About

In 2017-2018 the Children's Orchestra Society (COS) an elite string ensemble and a wind ensemble, chamber music classes and musicianship classes, serving close to 100 students. Aside from 2 season concerts, one gala concert at Sylvia & Danny Kaye Playhouse, COS collaborated with Harmony for Peace for a performance at Jazz at Lincoln Center. ESE had a special performance at the Syosset Public Library, and a group of 51 performers went on tour in China, performing in Shanghai Symphony Hall, Ningbo Arts Center and Hanzhou Conservatory. The Long Island Concert Orchestra, an offshoot of the now defunct Long Island Philharmonic Orchestra requested that the Children's Orchestra Society serve as a financial conduit to them until they receive their 501c3 status. They receive grants to send musicians to the local schools, which they deposit in Children's Orchestra's accounts, and issue checks to pay their musicians, in exchange for a 5% donation to COS.
