Driven by the influence of his father Jacques Singer, a famous conductor with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, Gregory Singer founded the orchestra in 2005, which consists of young artists from cities like Boston, New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, all selected by Gregory Singer.

The orchestra has grown with better full-time members and concerts in America's biggest and most prestigious concert halls, including many concerts in the Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall and radio broadcasts.

In August 2013, he also brought a group of students from the Central Conservatory of Music to perform with Manhattan Symphonie at Dawn and Dusk music festival in New York, presenting great chamber music works from Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart.

"I am always eager and happy to have Chinese musicians from America and China join the orchestra and play solo with my orchestra. We have had violinists, cellists, pianists and singers from China perform with us already many times," Singer says.

"There are many famous Chinese classical music performers all over the world," he says. "It is always my dream to help talented young musicians perform onstage and let more people share their music."
