Parlando

Parlando is a chamber orchestra based in New York City that brings intimate and accessible orchestral experiences to wider audiences. Founded by Ian Niederhoffer in 2019, Parlando provides the musical and historical context to prepare every audience member for the music they are about to hear. Through short introductions to each piece, the orchestra bridges the gap between audience and performer, creating an intimate, accessible orchestral experience. Every Parlando program has a theme and contains a blend of new, underrepresented and standard works.
