Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston

The Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston is a musician-led American orchestra based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is one of only four co-operative orchestras in the US. It has had a long-time association with composer and conductor Gunther Schuller, with Isaiah Jackson as Conductor emeritus and, since 2000, Gisele Ben-Dor as Conductor emerita.

The Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1978 by a group of young freelance musicians who gathered around conductor and Harvard chaplain Larry Hill.

The orchestra received the 1994 American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award for adventurous programming of contemporary music.
