Staten Island's premiere professional home-grown symphony orchestra (65-85 members strong) The Richmond County Orchestra has served greater SI for over 7 years with 10-20 performances per season! This includes its annual great performance series, the Maestro Speaks series and Classic's for Kids' series, all open to the public at modest admission and FREE for Children. Under Maestro Alan Aurelia the orchestra has gained national attention and has been able to attract world class musicians, soloists, celebrities, and combine them with local musicians, singers, composers, visual artists, poets and dancers creating diverse, dynamic multi-media concert events.

RCO's Student Mentoring programs and extensive music in education outreach programs "bringing classics to the kids & kids to the classics" have helped launch many students music careers.
