For 27 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.
For its budget size, RSO produces more events than any other professional or community orchestra in North Carolina. The orchestra annually receives critical acclaim for its performance quality and innovative programming, and 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.
