Mission Statement
Gateway Classical Music Society was founded to foster excitement, appreciation and popularity for classical music by presenting performances designed to achieve impact and intimacy, and to provide opportunities for artists to develop their skills and careers.
Description
Gateway presents performances of masterworks (opera, symphony, oratorio, major ballets etc.) with the Gateway Orchestra, a professional 65 piece orchestra. These "Great Works of Art Up Close and Personal" performances are performed in smaller than conventional venues in city and suburban neighborhood settings (like churches or intimate theaters of between of 400 to 700 seats approximately). Benefit events help to support these performances as well as other program initiatives such as our "Ambassadors for Masterworks" program to present our masterwork performances in underserved neighborhoods free of charge.
