The Chelsea Symphony

The Chelsea Symphony is an orchestra noted for its uniquely fluid hierarchy. Based in New York City, The Chelsea Symphony's members rotate as the ensemble’s own conductors, composers, and soloists. Each season, every conductor conducts a complete symphonic program with the group; each composer has a new work performed by the full orchestra; and every soloist performs a featured piece with the entire ensemble. The Chelsea Symphony gives most of its concerts at the German Church of St. Paul's.

gollark: The only time I had forcefield issues was when I had a wither contained in one running off a power supply which was *really* not rated for that, which caused a minor wither containment breach.
gollark: In my experience forcefield-type things (well, I've only really used RFTools's) are basically invincible.
gollark: Hmm. It *is* probably harder to do that sort of thing without that, yes.
gollark: You could use a nether portal, no?
