Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra

Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra

The Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston is a musician-led American orchestra based in Boston, Massachusetts.

Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1978 by a group of young freelance musicians who gathered around conductor and Harvard chaplain Larry Hill. Pro Arte is one of only four co-operative orchestras in the US.

In 1994, the orchestra received the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award for adventurous programming of contemporary music.

The orchestra is currently conducted by Isaiah Jackson.
