Our Orchestra Today

Building on more than 70 years of performances with many outstanding soloists and conductors, Orchestra Nova LA represents the evolution of a long-standing musical tradition into the organization we are today: vibrant musical ensemble of volunteer and emerging professional musicians dedicated to offer high-quality free concerts to the diverse communities of Southern California.

Under the baton of Maestro Ivan Shulman, ONLA invites you to join us for musical performances that highlight the inspirational and restorative powers of music, to “unplug” if only for a short time, from the demands of daily life.
