Garland Symphony Orchestra

The Garland Symphony Orchestra is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life in their growing and diverse community by inspiring, entertaining and involving citizens and organizations through music concerts of superior cultural and educational value.

From its beginnings in March 1978, the Garland Symphony Orchestra has been dedicated to providing performances of great orchestral music to Garland and the communities surrounding it, including Dallas, Richardson, Rowlett, Rockwall, and Sachse. Since making its debut, the GSO has presented over 200 concerts featuring the music of hundreds of composers, including the premieres of new works by Texas composers.

The orchestra’s first season was led by violinist James Gambino; for the following two seasons, the late Howard Dunn, former conductor of the highly regarded Dallas Wind Symphony, took the podium. Mischa Semanitzky took up the GSO’s baton for the 1981-82 season, and was succeeded by Daniel Hornstein.

In 1986, the artistic reins of the Garland Symphony Orchestra were passed to the current Music Director, Robert Carter Austin. Under Maestro Austin’s leadership, the orchestra made the transition from a group of highly dedicated volunteer musicians to a virtuoso ensemble of the finest professional instrumentalists in the DFW Metroplex. These artists, many of whom have been contributing their talents to the GSO for more than a decade, now comprise a prestigious, professional orchestra featuring a sophisticated and beautifully integrated musical ability.

Among the many distinguished guest artists who have appeared with the Garland Symphony Orchestra are pianists James Barbagallo, Katia Skanavi, and Oleksiy Koltakov; violinists Eliot Chapo and John Thomson; guest conductor Volodymir Sirenko; Chet Atkins, the Platters, Crystal Gayle, and the Rich-Tones.
