ABOUT KALISTOS
Kalistos Chamber Orchestra was formed in the winter of 2002 by a group of Boston finest musicians, brought together by their common love of music and a desire to contribute to the community.  These players 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 to explore and develop every facet of a chamber orchestra’s responsibilities and roles.  For more information visit  http://www.kalistos.org.
