Discovery Ensemble was a Boston-based chamber orchestra〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ArtsBoston Members )〕 founded by Music Director Courtney Lewis and Artistic Director David St. George. The orchestra, made up of young professionals from the Boston area, gave its inaugural concert in October 2008. Discovery Ensemble has two missions. First, it is a chamber orchestra that has been praised by both the Boston Globe and the Boston Phoenix. Concerts take place at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Schott Music )〕 Discovery Ensemble's second mission is education. The orchestra presents four Discovery Programs per year, each consisting of two in-school workshops and a matinee concert for children from local schools. The schools' concerts take place at Strand Theatre in Dorchester, Massachusetts.〔()〕 Discovery Ensemble plays live regularly on WGBH Radio and has been featured as Critics’ Choice on NPR.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WGBH Homepage )〕 In December 2009, Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Lloyd Schwartz of the Boston Phoenix named Discovery Ensemble Boston's "Best Kept Secret". ==History== Discovery Ensemble is currently (November 2010) in its third season, which consists of three concert and education cycles. The orchestra played its first concert in October 2008 in the Strand Theatre, Dorchester with Ginastera’s ''Variaciones concertantes'', Stravinsky’s ''Danses concertantes'', and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.〔〔 The orchestra was founded because directors Courtney Lewis and David St. George saw the possibility, given the abundance of young professional musicians in Boston, of forming and training a large (40 players) chamber orchestra that could perform at the highest international level. At the same time, it would be the first professional orchestra to work with school children ''in situ''. Discovery Ensemble has been particularly associated with schools and community centers in Dorchester.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Discovery Ensemble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
