The Lancaster Symphony Orchestra is a performing arts organization based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, serving the South Central Pennsylvania community through live musical performances and educational outreach. Its programming includes a mix of classical series concerts, popular music events, holiday and seasonal performances, a New Year’s Celebration, and special events, supported by a long-standing Composer’s Award established in 1959 that recognizes living American composers contributing to symphonic music. The orchestra emphasizes community engagement through the Sound Discovery programs, which aim to broaden access to music education and experiences for students from third grade through college, with a focus on reaching disadvantaged and underserved populations. With a history spanning six plus decades, the organization operates within the regional cultural ecosystem and engages a broad audience while fostering opportunities for music education and appreciation. The orchestra is part of the regional performing arts landscape and, as of its latest described season, continues to evolve its offerings and community impact in the Lancaster area.
