A new beginning for our orchestra
After 70 years of performances with many outstanding soloists and conductors, we have chosen to change our name to better reflect who we have become today: a new and vibrant musical organization comprised of volunteer and emerging professional musicians all dedicated to offer high-quality affordable concerts to the diverse communities of Southern California. We are Orchestra Nova LA.
Under the baton of Maestro Ivan Shulman, ONLA welcomes you to join us for musical performances that will provide the opportunity to experience the inspirational and restorative powers of music, to “unplug” if only for a short time, from the demands of daily life.
