Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra
Our mission is to deeply move and engage as many people as possible with the power of symphonic music. We will work to create an environment that nurtures music-making at the highest possible levels. Since its inception in 1932, the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra has proven to be a leading cultural organization in this region. Now, in its 77th season, the DSSO has consistently provided professional level performances of symphonic music, both traditional and new, to audiences of every age and background. The DSSO has set itself apart from its peers and established a unique tradition by regularly featuring the most important soloists of the day. Duluth has a history of orchestras dating back to 1883, though the Duluth Civic Orchestra began in 1931 in the home of Alphin Flaaten. Their first concert was held on May 2, 1932, under the baton of Walter Lange. Soon after, Paul Lemay became the first full-time conductor, and the Duluth Symphony Association was founded under manager Abe Miller. Those initial concerts took place in the Duluth Armory. In 1966, the Orchestra moved to the DECC (Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center) Auditorium which seats over 2,200 and is located on the waterfront. In the 1974-75 season the name of the Orchestra was officially changed to Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra to reflect the close cultural and economic relationship of the two port cities.
