The orchestra
Some are teachers, physicians, filmmakers, IT professionals, and librarians—but every one of us shares a deep love of music. When the workday ends, our musicians don’t slow down; they come together, volunteering their time for the thrill, challenge, and pure joy of performing in a symphony orchestra.
Among us are founding members who have been making music together since our very first concert in 1988, alongside fresh graduates from music schools across the country who continue to teach and perform with passion. Each musician is highly trained, united by a shared excitement that peaks in rehearsal—and soars even higher on Sundays at the Symphony, when the music comes alive in front of an audience that loves it just as much as we do.
