American Symphony Orchestra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1962 by Leopold Stokowski, then aged 80.
Stokowski served as music director for the orchestra until May 1972 when, at the age of 90, he returned to England. Leon Botstein is the current conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra. In addition to its main subscription series at Lincoln Center, the orchestra also performs a lecture/concert series with audience interaction at Columbia University's Miller Theatre called Classics Declassified. It is also the resident orchestra of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, where it performs a winter concert series as well as during the summer Bard Music Festival. The American Symphony Orchestra has toured the world, and made numerous recordings and broadcasts.
