Symphony Number One is Baltimore's newest chamber orchestra, dedicated to performing and promoting substantial works by emerging composers.
Led by Music Director Jordan Randall Smith, Symphony Number One brings together great composers of the past, virtuoso performers of the present, and the leading compositional voices of the future.
In recent weeks, Symphony Number One was featured in the media on multiple occasions.
On January 5, we again appeared on Maryland Public Television's Artworks! They featured a portion of our EP, Emergence, a portion of Andrew Boss' Concerto for Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra.
Have you heard the news? We were named winners in this year's Baltimore Magazine "Best of Baltimore" edition! Chosen for the "Category Busters" award, we proudly share the spotlight with Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, and our friends from Light City!
Founding a start-up organization can be a monumental task, but Music Director Jordan Randall Smith shares some inspiring insights on his journey to Symphony Number One's creation, after sitting down with John Lim on the podcast Be Moving Forward. Have a listen!
