About Kalistos
Kalistos Chamber Orchestra was formed in the winter of 2002 by a
group of Boston area musicians brought together by their common love of
music and a desire to contribute to the community. These players
share a willingness to bring their varied backgrounds, perspectives,
and experiences together in a collaborative environment, creating an
orchestra that is democratic in its artistic direction. The group
is fully rotational both musically and administratively, allowing each
member an opportunity to explore a broad range of responsibilities and
roles. For more information visit http://www.kalistos.org.
