Tallahassee is extremely fortunate to house an orchestra of exceptional quality. Thanks in large part to Florida State University and its outstanding faculty as well as very talented community musicians, the TSO brings an extremely high-level concert experience to its patrons. We hope to provide you with the opportunity to meet each of our outstanding musicians! If you are interested in sponsoring a chair through the Sustain the Stage initiative, please call our office at 850.224.0461 for more information.
Auditions for the TSO will be held this summer on Sunday, September 8, 2019. Please visit the 2019 TSO Audition Page for dates, times, and audition excerpts.
