The Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra is a professional symphony orchestra that presents four classical concerts, an American Celebration and Holiday Magic concert, and one Young People’s Concert per season in the Tallahassee, Florida community and surrounding areas.The TSO is composed of numerous orchestra members from a variety of backgrounds, including professional musicians from the community, faculty from the College of Music at Florida State University, and graduate students from the University.

Founded in 1979 by Nicholas Harsanyi, the TSO grew under his leadership until his death in 1987. David Hoose became the Orchestra’s third music director in 1993. After 11 years at the helm of the TSO, Maestro Hoose retired after the 2004-2005 season, and a conductor search carried out during the 2005-2006 season ended successfully with the appointment of Maestra Miriam Burns as the fourth TSO music director. Her debut with the orchestra occurred on October 14, 2006.

A board of directors governs the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. The Board of the TSO is a group of hard-working volunteers dedicated to providing the Tallahassee area with the enrichment and joy of a professional orchestra. The board offers the drive and vision for continuing cultural excellence in the region.

The Tallahassee youth orchestra program is a high priority. The TSO sponsors the Tallahassee Symphony Youth Orchestra (TSYO), a vital program that now includes youth from six years of age through high school. Each week, approximately 175 students gather with dedicated teachers, coaches and conductors to receive quality, sequential instruction and to experience the joy of rehearsing and performing orchestral music with their peers.

The Tallahassee Symphony Society (TSS) was formed in 1992 to support the programs of the TSO through a variety of fundraising activities. The Symphony Society is open to any community member who wishes to participate.

The TSO is a member of the American Symphony Orchestra League and is funded by the generous support of friends, businesses and private foundations. The Symphony receives public support from the Florida Department of State, the Florida Arts Council, and the City of Tallahassee.
