Since 1947, the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra has evolved from a community orchestra playing a few concerts per year into an organization of professional musicians presenting 24 yearly subscription concerts at the Fulton Opera House, plus three Audience Request concerts, a New Year's Eve Celebration at the American Music Theatre, and a free, outdoor community Patriotic Concert at Long's Park.
Our season presents international guest artists, guest conductors, pre-concert lectures and educational programs. The Lancaster Symphony Orchestra strives to present world-renowned artists performing world-class music, paired in an "Only in Lancaster" way.
