Orchestra of St. Luke’s - The DiMenna Center for Classical Music

Founded in 1978, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s is a prominent and versatile classical music organization. The Orchestra frequently collaborates with well-known artists from around the world.

Originally conceived to be OSL’s home and classical music rehearsal facility, the main spaces, Cary Hall and Benzaquen Hall are used for much more. With state-of-the-art recording and staging capabilities developed during the facility’s programming and design phase, they are regularly used for dance, pop, rock and jazz rehearsal and recording as well as classical music and dance performances.

The site is shared with the Baryshnikov Arts Center, which provides community-oriented arts programming.
