The New York City based Go: Organic Orchestra is a multi-cultural, multi-generational, multi-racial chamber orchestra that combines western and non-western instrumentation to present a serious contemporary music based on the original compositional concept of musical director Adam Rudolph.


Go: Organic Orchestra - NYC


While Rudolph has taught hundreds of musicians world-wide in the Go: Organic Orchestra concept, it is the New York City based ensemble that has evolved the most full expression of this creative vision.

Since 2005, Rudolph has worked with a consistent core of 42 technically and creatively-skilled musicians from the diverse worlds of classical, jazz and world music.

Using innovative notation and conducting signals, Rudolph leads the NYC Go: Organic Orchestra members to create works that the ensemble "reinvents" with each performance.

The ensemble has attracted an audience of thousands into New York City's experimental performance venues, helping to establish a dynamic new scene for a boundless, contemporary vision of 21st century music. A five year residency at Roulette Intermedia, followed by four years at Shapeshifter Lab and two years at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music have helped to make Go: Organic Orchestra a widely appreciated chamber ensemble.
