The Towson University Symphony Orchestra is comprised of talented, enthusiastic and dedicated students from the university. Most of its members are Music Majors and are focusing their academic work on Music Education, Performance or Composition. A few positions, usually in the string section, are held by non-majors. All members join the orchestra through an audition process.
The orchestra performs one major on-campus concert per semester, as well as additional special performances both on campus and in the greater community. We frequently collaborate with guest artists such as Phil Munds (Prin. French Horn in the Baltimore Symphony), faculty soloists, the Towson University Chamber Singers, and the Towson University Big Band to name a few.
A highlight of 2007 was a tour to New York City! The orchestra gave performances of music by Dvorak, Chabrier and Bernstein, participated in a Side-By-Side program and then continued on to the Lincoln Center to hear a performance by the world-class New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
