Founded in 1996, the NIH Community Orchestra is an all-volunteer organization that unites the musical talent of NIH and the surrounding community: NIH affiliation is not required.  We perform three orchestral concerts per season, featuring works from underrepresented and living composers, alongside beloved classics!  Fall 2024 musician openings: Trombone, Bassoon, Percussion, and Harp. Weekly rehearsals begin mid-Sept.

The NIH Community Orchestra is supported in part by funding from the Montgomery County Government, and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
