ORCHESTRANEXUS stands as our flagship ensemble—a forward-thinking collective of musicians dedicated to artistic excellence, radical inclusion, and storytelling that resonates. With each performance, the orchestra reimagines what it means to make music that matters.

ORCHESTRANEXUS is a collective of highly skilled classical musicians from New York City. They share a profound sense of connection, a nexus, among themselves and with their audiences when they perform together. This unique bond serves as the foundation for their musical endeavors. 

Eric Dale Knapp is the founder and visionary behind ORCHESTRANEXUS, Nexus Choral Artists, Nexus Symphonic Chorus and Nexus Arts & Culture. His journey began in 2013 with powerful performances of Vaughan Williams’ Sea Symphony, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Verdi’s Requiem, and Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 9, among others. As the musicians and Mr. Knapp evolved together, they forged a profound sense of unity—a nexus—that came to define their identity and mission, giving birth to ORCHESTRANEXUS.

Nexus Arts & Culture aims to build upon this nexus and leverage the transformative power of live performances to expand the connection between musicians, both amateur and professional, and music enthusiasts worldwide. The overarching goal is to foster a more harmonious world through the universal language of music. 

By bringing together musicians from different backgrounds and expertise, ORCHESTRANEXUS strives to create an environment that celebrates diversity and collaboration. Their performances seek to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and ignite a shared experience that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. 

The Nexus Symphonic Chorus is a renowned choral organization that specializes in offering unique choral collaborations on a global scale. With a strong emphasis on attention to musical detail and exceptional hospitality, Nexus provides a white glove experience for both performers and audiences alike. The chorus brings together talented singers from various backgrounds, including the Nexus Choral Artists, accomplished amateurs, and world-class soloists. 

The Nexus Choral Artists are an ensemble of professional choral singers who possess exceptional talent and expertise in their field. They strive to provide audiences with high-quality choral performances that exemplify world-class standards of musical excellence. One of the primary focuses of Nexus Choral Artists is the repertoire they choose to perform. They select a diverse range of choral works from various musical periods and styles, including classical, contemporary, folk, and sacred music. The repertoire often includes well-known masterpieces as well as lesser-known or newly commissioned compositions, offering audiences a rich and engaging musical experience. To achieve a world-class performance level, Nexus  ensures that the singers they engage are highly skilled professionals. These singers have typically undergone rigorous vocal training and possess a deep understanding of vocal technique, musical interpretation, and ensemble performance. They bring a wealth of experience to their performances, demonstrating a refined musicality, expressive singing, and a strong sense of ensemble cohesion. ORCHESTRANEXUS provides a platform for these talented singers and musicians to collaborate and create compelling musical experiences. Their objective is to enrich the cultural landscape and engage audiences through the beauty and power of choral and orchestral music. 

Through the art of live performance, we aspire to establish a global network of musicians and music lovers who can connect and interact with each other, fostering a sense of community and understanding. By extending this connection across the globe, we will strive to contribute to the creation of a more harmonious world, where the power of music can bridge gaps and promote a shared appreciation for the arts. 

ORCHESTRANEXUS and Nexus Arts & Culture are dedicated to harnessing the profound connection between musicians and their audiences to create a transformative and inclusive cultural experience that promotes harmony and unity on a global scale.
