Based in Racine, Wisconsin, the Racine Symphony Orchestra is a mid-sized performing arts ensemble that has served Racine County since 1932. The orchestra comprises paid musicians selected by audition and is led by conductor and artistic director Pasquale Laurino. Its season blends three Masterworks classical concerts with three pops performances, and includes educational programs designed to engage audiences across age groups. The organization aims to enrich, educate and entertain communities through the power of music. Five educational programs are offered per season, two of which are free. The orchestra relies on support from individual donors, small businesses, corporate sponsors and other nonprofit partners to sustain its activities. In 2025, the Racine Symphony Orchestra partnered with the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra to present Violins of Hope, a concert and community event featuring restored Holocaust-era instruments.
