Our mission is to Enrich, Educate and Entertain our communities through the power of music. Since its inception in 1932, the Racine Symphony Orchestra (RSO) has been a pivotal contributor to the cultural richness of the entire Racine community. Composed of paid musicians selected through audition and lead by our Conductor and Artistic Director, world-class violinist Pasquale Laurino, the RSO enriches the lives of thousands of individuals, young and old, rich and poor, throughout Racine County. Specifically, the RSO performs three pops concerts, three Masterworks classical concerts and five educational programs, two of which are free, each season. Validating the RSO’s positive community impact, it is proudly supported by individual donors, small businesses, corporate sponsors and fellow nonprofit organizations, all contributing to the organization’s secure financial foundation.
