The National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic is one of the most celebrated festival orchestras in the United States. Having received a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Orchestral Performance in 2019 for their album of works by Ruggles, Stucky, and Harbison (Naxos 8.559836), its alumni occupy important positions in virtually every major symphony orchestra in the US.
Held annually since 1988 at the University of Maryland, the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic is a leader in orchestral training and creative programming, championing works by underrepresented composers alongside standards of the repertoire.
