Discovery Ensemble is a chamber orchestra that draws together forty of the finest performing musicians in Boston under the inspired leadership of conductor Courtney Lewis. This finely honed and virtuosic ensemble has already established itself as one of the pre-eminent chamber orchestras in the country.
Unseen by the general public is the other side of its work, an extensive program of workshops in Boston schools and children’s concerts.
