Annasemble is pleased to introduce our new Music Director/Conductor, Nicholas Lewis. Join us in the 2026-27 season as part of the orchestra - looking forward to an exciting new season with Nick at the baton!

From our Conductor/Music Director, Nick Lewis:

Welcome to Annasemble Community Orchestra!
I’m honored to introduce myself as the newly appointed Music Director, and even more excited to invite you to be part of what we’re building together. Annasemble is more than just an orchestra - it’s a place where musicians of all backgrounds come together to share in the joy of music-making, to grow, and to connect with one another through an experience.
Whether you’ve been playing for years, returning after time away, or new to an instrument, you are welcome here. My goal is to create an environment that is both musically rewarding and genuinely enjoyable, where we challenge ourselves, support each other, and take pride in the music we create as a community.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and making great music side by side.
Warmly,
Nicholas Lewis
Music Director, Annasemble Community Orchestra

TO LIFE! REFLECTIONS on a JOURNEY
This year, we celebrate 28 years of the Annasemble Community Orchestra. From a small group of people gathering bi-weekly to make music together, we have grown into a vibrant music community that hosts three orchestras: the Annasemble, the Annasemble Chamber Orchestra, and the Young Annasemble. All three orchestras will perform under the direction of our retiring Music Director, Annemieke Pronker-Coron in her Final Concert with Annasemble Orchestra.
