About DeKalb Symphony Orchestra
DeKalb Symphony Orchestra presents concerts of traditional and contemporary symphonic repertoire, seeking both the highest possible level of artistic quality and the advancement of musical awareness and participation among ourmusicians and diverse audiences.
Membership in DeKalb Symphony Orchestra is by audition. Of the more than 80 players in the full orchestra, only a handful are paid a small stipend to act as principal players. The others are volunteer players from the community. A recent study concluded that each player in DSO devotes approximately 200 hours per year to the Orchestra’s rehearsals and performances and that the average member serves for 10 years or more.
