InterSchool Orchestras of New York Tickets

InterSchool Orchestras of New York (ISO) is a venerable NYC-based youth orchestral program dedicated to providing robust orchestral opportunities for school-aged musicians. Founded in 1972 by Annabelle F. Prager, ISO has grown into a federation of ensembles that empower young players through regular performance experience, collaboration, and education. With a mission to nurture musical talent while enriching New York City's cultural life, ISO performs at major venues and partners with organizations that share a commitment to accessible, high-caliber music education.

ISO ensembles include Carnegie Hill Orchestra, Concert Orchestra, Symphonic Band, and ISO Symphony, among others. The organization regularly presents up to 20 concerts per year, bringing emerging student musicians to stages like Carnegie Hall, Symphony Space, and Alice Tully Hall. In 2020, ISO joined the programs of Third Street Music School Settlement, expanding access and collaboration across the city. ISO's impact has been recognized by the League of American Orchestras with the Bank of America Award for excellence in orchestra education (2004), underscoring its important role in music education and community engagement.

In addition to its NYC roots, ISO has toured internationally, including a notable performance tour to Scotland in 2014. The ensemble continues to inspire audiences and shape young musicians' careers while maintaining a practical, no-fuss approach to ticketing and event information.
