About the Orchestra

Now entering its 80th season, the William & Mary Symphony Orchestra is comprised of undergraduate, graduate and community musicians of the College of William & Mary. Its mission is to grow through performances of great orchestral literature and to contribute to the artistic community of the College and beyond.

WMSO has performed major works by Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, Dvorak, Mahler, Bartok, Ravel and Tchaikovsky and offers additional opportunities such as guest artist collaborations, premieres, and tours. In 2002, WMSO took its first international tour to Italy and Sicily. The orchestra's domestic tours include performances at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall in Alexandria, VA (2011) and at the Lang Recital Hall at Swarthmore College, PA (2012).

WMSO rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm and performs 4 programs annually, in addition to appearing at special events such as the Family Weekend Concert.

If you are a visitor, member of the William & Mary community, friend or family of the WMSO, we hope to see you at the concerts!
