  • Richardson Symphony Orchestra Performances

    Now in its 61st year the orchestra is comprised of a core of about 60 professional musicians from throughout the DFW area under the direction of the Music Director and Conductor Clay Couturiaux. Founded in 1961 the RSO typically performs a season of six subscription performances of popular and classical live music. Some performances feature guest soloists vocal and instrumental from all over the world or popular local choral groups or soloists. In addition to its regular concert season select orchestra members may play in contract performances. Examples include providing a quartet for an event or providing orchestral accompaniment for a production at the Eisemann Center.

  • Symphony Days Educational Program

    in line with its mission of developing young artists and promoting music education in general the RSO is actively involved in elementary educational programs through our Symphony Days classroom visits and special children's concerts. Each elementary school in Richardson Independent School District is offered the opportunity to participate in a program which involves an on-site classroom visit by our musicians to demonstrate their instrument and prepare the children to appreciate and enjoy an upcoming concert performed specifically for them at the Eisemann Center. In many cases the concert they attend as part of the Symphony Days program is the first classical concert these children have attended. The program focus is third graders. In the past we have also made the program available to many private schools and home school groups.
