    RSOC serves the community's needs through by offering a fabulous concert season with a repertoire of traditional and new classical music selections performed in both symphony and chamber formats by 70 gifted professional musicians. Guest artists from around the world frequently join RSOC performances. Some performances include RSOC's wonderfully talented and committed volunteer chorale.

    A cornerstone of Rochester culture

    Rochester’s own symphony and chorale was founded in 1919. Our earliest ensemble — the Lawler-Dodge Orchestra — was a group of volunteers motivated by their passion to play, driven by Daisy Plummer and directed by Harold Cooke. Appearing in the former Chateau Theater pit, they provided background music for silent movies.

    In the past 90 plus years, Rochester Symphony Orchestra & Chorale has evolved into a first-rate performance organization and a cultural benchmark for our community. Our professional ensemble of musicians is proud to serve the region’s demand for high quality musical performance. We’re also committed to providing educational experiences for all ages, to grow new audiences and to enrich the experiences of current supporters.
