Tulsa has long been an arts city with a vibrant and committed arts community generously supported and nourished by citizens, corporations and philanthropists. The last decade has produced a new energy and excitement for a revitalization of the downtown that combines the convenience and social advantages of urban living with an expanding arts and entertainment district. In the midst of this renewal and excitement a new kind of professional orchestra was created.

Founded in October, 2005, the unique concept of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra has gained national attention as a number of other professional orchestras search for a practical alternative to the traditional structure. The foundation of TSO is a business model for orchestral governance that involves musicians at every level of operation as artists in the concert hall, Executive Musicians on the office staff and as active, contributing members of the Board of Directors and every functioning committee.

TSO is committed to serving the Tulsa community as productive citizens, artists, teachers, facilitators, innovators, musical ambassadors and wherever our talents are needed. In addition to membership in the League of American Orchestras TSO’s artistic partners include the Tulsa Ballet, Tulsa Oratorio Chorus, Tulsa Opera and Light Opera Oklahoma. TSO is equally committed to community alliances which include the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, Oklahoma A+ Schools, Oklahoma Aquarium, Tulsa Air and Space Museum, Community Food Bank of Northeastern Oklahoma, Iron Gate, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma and the Tulsa Zoo.

Through exciting and meaningful Education and Community Outreach programs TSO provides a wide range of musical and teaching experiences focused on building the audiences of tomorrow and encouraging the gifted young musicians of today. Our professional musicians are sought after to assist faith-based and other community organizations in meeting high standards of musical excellence.
