The Lancaster Symphony Orchestra's core purpose is to enrich, entertain, and educate the south central Pennsylvania community through unique live musical performances and to provide community engagement opportunities for students of all ages. Now in its 73rd season, the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra has played for nearly four decades under the direction of Maestro Stephen Gunzenhauser. The Symphony has evolved from a community orchestra playing a few concerts per year into a $1 million organization of professional musicians presenting Classic Series concerts and the Sounds of the Season holiday concert series.
