Racine Symphony Orchestra

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

For over 80 years, generations of people have been instrumental (pun intended) in making music in our community. Founder Fredrick Schulte began the orchestra in 1932 and 400 concerts later, the orchestra performs this seasons finale on April 21. A few weeks ago, the 50th fifth grade concert was presented. Throughout the years over 85,000 students have participated. This summer will be the 25th season of summer pops concerts.

We would not be reaching these milestones today if you or someone before you didn't support the symphony. The RSO exists to enrich, educate and entertain, with you and your support, we plan to be around for many more years.
