The String Orchestra of Brooklyn is a semi-professional chamber orchestra based at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in historic Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, in New York City. It is directed by Eli Spindel, an alumnus of Vassar College.
The String Orchestra of Brooklyn (SOB) was formed in the summer of 2007 with the idea of providing a musical community for the many talented amateur and pre-professional classical musicians living in and around Brooklyn. Members of the SOB are students, professors, architects, lawyers, executives, editors, designers, and artists. While specializing in the diverse string orchestra repertoire, the SOB is also able, through collaboration, to tackle works from many genres and periods. The group plans to work with contemporary composers, and presented a concert in the spring of 2008 dedicated to the work of young American composers working in the United States.
