The Columbus Symphony Orchestra, based in Columbus, Georgia, provides orchestral performances to audiences across the Southeast as part of the region’s cultural offerings. Its roots reach back to 1855, when Herman S. Saroni, a student of Mendelssohn, founded the ensemble, making it one of the earliest orchestras in the United States. The organization endured disruptions during the Civil War and the World Wars, but the modern entity was formed in 1949 and has delivered performances for 69 consecutive years. Since the late 1970s, the CSO has operated as a professional orchestra. It performs at RiverCenter for the Performing Arts. For some concerts, it engages as many as 90 musicians to support the programming.
