Mozart Society Orchestra November 8, 2003

The Mozart Society Orchestra was founded in 1984 under the leadership of Charles Peltz (1984-1990). The MSO continued to grow with subsequent music directors Eric Benjamin (1990-1991) and David Commanday '76 (1991-1997), Robert Lehmann (1997-2001), and Iris Lan '99 (2001-2002).

The MSO hosts the annual Freshman Concerto Competition, which began when David Commanday created the competition in 1991 to recognize and highlight the talent of promising young Harvard musicians. It is the only musical competition at Harvard exclusively for first-years.

The MSO is now entering its twentieth season. Consisting of students from all classes, the orchestra strives to create a cooperative ensemble and to make playing opportunities available to as many interested musicians as possible. Rehearsals are Monday and Wednesday evenings, from 7-9:30. If you are interested in playing with the MSO, please contact Joshua Evans (jevans@fas).

Chris Younghjoon Kim is Mozart Society Orchestra's Resident Conductor for the 2003-2004 season. He joins Akiko Fujimoto, Mozart Society Orchestra's Music Director.
