Raleigh Symphony Orchestra
For twenty seven years, the
Raleigh Symphony Orchestra has brought musicians and the community
together in the belief that music has the power to affect the lives
of all people. Each
year, these professionally trained musicians come together to
dynamically merge their talent and exuberance in response to the
creative leadership of Maestro Alan Neilson.
Through its long tradition of reaching
out into diverse communities through concerts, community
partnerships, in-school and community education programs and by
providing opportunities for musicians, RSO is an integral part of
Wake County and the Triangle.
A community resource since 1979, RSO
has premiered numerous works and choreography. For its budget size, it
produces more events than any other professional or community
orchestra in North Carolina.
In a blind artistic survey conducted by the N.C. Arts
Council, RSO ranked with orchestras having two to five times RSO’s
budget.
The orchestra annually receives
critical acclaim for its performance quantity and innovative
programming. It is
frequently mentioned in print media’s “Ten Best” selections of
classical concerts in the Triangle. RSO has been awarded the
Raleigh Medal of Arts for its inclusive and innovative programming,
community outreach and high artistic standards.
