About Orchestra Lumos
Formerly Stamford Symphony, Orchestra Lumos was the outcome of a re-imagining and rebranding exercise to reflect a new vision for the Orchestra through which it seeks to engage with everyone in the Fairfield County community, with a particular emphasis on new and diverse audiences.
The organization has established a successful suite of programs that it delivers with education partners, which runs smoothly. The new priority of this post is to develop community engagement opportunities with the widest range of partners to ensure we are relevant and accessible to more of the community. We also seek to expand delivery to more of the county and deliver a more equitable share of presentations in more towns while still recognizing the importance of Stamford. We would expect the post holder to build relationships with libraries, museums, nature centers, retirement communities, hospitals, breweries, malls, community centers, places of worship, young professional organizations, chambers of commerce, rotary clubs, Men’s and Women’s Clubs, and others.
The Orchestra provides:
-
High quality classical concerts under Music Director Michael Stern at The Palace Theatre in Stamford, CT, in 2024-25 with Yo-Yo Ma, Anwen Deng and Gabriel Kahane.
-
Ten Small Space (chamber music) presentations offered in churches, libraries, and nature centers from Greenwich to Bridgeport
-
A comprehensive community engagement and education program delivered with public school districts, after school music organizations and other community partners
-
A pops season including an annual movie with the Orchestra playing the soundtrack live

Why we’ve changed our name
Our name needed to better reflect who we are and are becoming. With our new footprint across Fairfield County, more performances, and much-enhanced educational offerings—all led by our Music Director, Michael Stern—we needed a new name. Orchestra Lumos is all about shining a brig...ht light on extraordinary music and musicians, radiating energy, engaging new audiences, and sharing new possibilities.
