Our Vision
The Orchestra On The Hill is a regional arts organization based in Ipswich, MA devoted to producing interdisciplinary performances featuring the highest professional musicianship as well as performance art. Our mission is to contribute to the cultural enrichment of the North Shore of Massachusetts and beyond through exceptional concerts of orchestral music while showcasing other local artists including the visual arts, dance, poetry, animation and photography. The Orchestra On The Hill also provides opportunities for non-professional musicians to rehearse together while being coached and supported by professional conductors and players. Our goal is to encourage developing artists to continue to develop their abilities and to provide a platform for them to showcase their skills and to share this talent with our communities.
Our Mission
The Orchestra On The Hill enriches the community by providing opportunities for musicians and other artists to collaborate through professional and innovative orchestral performances. The Orchestra On The Hill encourages youth participation and development while celebrating the natural beauty and rich history of our region.
