Symphony Orchestra
The Wright State University Symphony Orchestra has been continuously active in the Miami Valley of Ohio since 1966. It draws its members from the entire Dayton community, including university students, faculty, and other area musicians. The orchestra studies and performs a large repertoire of classical music from the Baroque to the Twenty-first Century. It also performs regularly with distinguished guest artists, choral ensembles, and outstanding student musicians selected in annual competition.
Under the guidance of the current music director and conductor, Dr. In-Hong Cha, the orchestra has performed such works as Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Copeland’s Appalachian Spring, Rimski-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Elgar’s Enigma Variations, and symphonies by Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorak, Haydn, Hanson, and William Grant Still.
While an audition is required for new members, all levels of experience and facility are welcome. For further information or to schedule an audition, please contact Dr. Cha by phone at 937-775-2455 or by email at in-hong.cha@wright.edu.
