Since 1977 the Omega Ensemble has spread the joy of chamber music to audiences throughout the New York Metropolitan area. Omega seeks to promote this treasured musical genre by presenting a series of free and modestly priced concerts. In addition, Omega uses its concerts as a way to introduce extraordinary young artists to the public and has presented over 125 new artists to date.

Omega engages in charitable activities by playing a series of free “Gift to the City” concerts at Christ and St. Stephens Church and The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. Omega also performs two other concert series throughout the calendar year. The “Cocktail Series” takes place at the prestigious Polish Consulate, located in Manhattan, and the “Sea Cliff Series” which takes place in Sea Cliff, Long Island.

Besides our concert series Omega has a tradition of honoring an individual or organization that has made a significant contribution to the Arts at its annual benefit.

We invite you to join us in at any of our concerts and celebrate the beauty of chamber music.
