Description
“The purpose of the DuPage Symphony is to maintain a symphony orchestra in DuPage County, Illinois; to foster and encourage the production of music; to give musical performances; to foster and develop musical talent in the county; to educate the public in symphonic literature, and to encourage attendance at symphonic concerts.”
That is the foundation of your DuPage Symphony Orchestra, as set out in its original Constitution that was adopted in January 1956, when the symphony was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation. The DSO had been established as an all-volunteer performing ensemble in 1954 and played its first concert in December of that year, but it was not until a year later that the organization’s reason for being was given this specific expression.
In its beginnings in 1954, the orchestra consisted of fewer than 50 musicians under the direction of founder Russell Harvey. Today’s DSO, under the baton of its second music director, Barbara Schubert, is somewhat less itinerant, performing principally in Pfeiffer Hall on the campus of North Central College in Naperville, or at College of DuPage’s McAninch Arts Center in Glen Elllyn.
