A Year of Transition for the GSO

The 2015-2016 Season will be a transitional year for the Genesee Symphony Orchestra. Having had 13 wonderful conductors through the years since its inception in 1947, change is not new to this Orchestra. This season will see four candidates for the position of Music Director grace our stage in hopes of being the next GSO conductor.We all know how difficult change can be. Will the new conductor be able to work with the musicians? Will s/he be able to make a connection with the audience? What kind of program will be presented? Will the program instill a deeper appreciation of all things musical in our area? Stay tuned as our four candidates demonstrate what they can bring to the stage and the orchestra this season!A diversified group, the Genesee Symphony Orchestra continues to bring excellence in music, education, and entertainment to the Genesee Region.Would you like to learn more about the Genesee Symphony Orchestra and its conductors?
