Trinity Symphony Orchestra
Dr. Ken Greene, Conductor

The Trinity Symphony Orchestra is a 60-member ensemble comprised of wind, brass, string, and percussion players from the entire student body. The TSO presents two full concerts annually featuring string and full orchestra works (see sample repertoire below). In addition, the Orchestra performs on the Christmas concert and the Trinity Family Weekend concert. In the spring term, the TSO combines with the Trinity Choral Union to present a masterwork of the choral/orchestral repertoire.

Membership in the TSO is open to all students by audition and counts as one credit hour per semester. Rehearsals are held in the Smith Music building Ruth Taylor Recital Hall on Mondays, and Thursdays, 7 – 9:00 p.m. The evening schedule allows students with a wide variety of class commitments to join the ensemble without other class conflicts. This course (MUSE 1189) fulfills Trinity Common Curriculum requirements (Understanding the Arts and Literature).
