LOTUS Festival Orchestra was established to expand our mission to the Capital City and beyond. Comprising skilled musicians throughout the Tri-State region, the ensemble began as exceptional solo and trio instrumentalists and expanded to a string ensemble a year later. In 2023, brass and keyboard were added to the orchestra. In the 2024-2025 season, the ensemble will grow to include winds, brass, and percussion. 

​

In the 2023-2024 season, the chamber ensemble collaborated with Trenton Music Makers to provide a platform for young talents to perform with seasoned professionals - a collaboration that will continue for future concerts. A member of the League of American Orchestras, the orchestra strives to match industry benchmarks in musical excellence and orchestra policies.
