Mission and programs · 2022

Primary exempt purpose

The mission of the Horizon Ensemble is to enrich the artistic and cultural lives of our communities of musicians and audiences through our orchestral concerts. We serve the community of the Boston area by providing accessible musical performances at no cost in a historical space. We also support the community of musicians in Boston by acting as a high-level ensemble playing unique repertoire with a relatively short rehearsal cycle. Finally, we further the artistic development of the community of young composers by providing them with performances of large-ensemble pieces, a much-desired opportunity.

  • The 4th concert of Horizon Ensemble was delivered on August 28, 2022. Concert Title: Summertime Scenes. Concert Theme: Of Summertime Memories, of Trepidation, and of Livly Fury. Music presented included: Ben Nacar - Dodecatet (2020); Zach Hicks - Ready or Not (2022); and Louise Farrenc - Symphony No.3 in G minor (1847). Live recording available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utEzDF-tFxI. As summer reaches its high finish, Horizon Ensemble invited their music followers to celebrate the memories we have made in this bright season! The concert began with Ben Nacar's Dodecatet for 12 instruments, inspired by images of nature and scenes from Homer's epic Odyssey. Next, it was the world premiere of Zach Hicks's Ready or Not, a chamber orchestra piece full of sprightly energy and rhythm. Finally, the concert finished with the lively Third Symphony of Louise Farrenc, a French Romantic composer who was the only female professor at the Paris Conservatory in the entire 19th century!

  • The 5th conceert of Horizon Ensemble was delivered on Dec 11, 2022. Performed music by: Brian Daniel Ross, Status Quo for brass ensemble; Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Idyll; Fanny Hensel, Overture in C; and Franz Schubert, Symphony No. 6, "Little C Major". About this Event: What a time it's been! The end of the year arrives, and we arrive safely through all the trials and tribulations 2022 has brought us. Let's enjoy a relaxing evening with some lovely pieces, which all live within the sunny world of C major. Horizon Ensemble opened with Status Quo, a brass ensemble piece written by our friend Brian Daniel Ross, which took the audience from a stark martial procession into a warm chorale. From here the audience would find themselves in the Idyll by the British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a tender, loving air, soothing and lounging. After this was the energetic Overture in C Major by Fanny Hensel (née Mendelssohn) - the composer's only foray into purely symphonic music, full of bold and striking musical choices and events. Then, the concert finished with Franz Schubert's cheerful Symphony No. 6, nicknamed the "Little C Major."
