Community Engagement
The Richardson Symphony Orchestra enhances our community by breaking down barriers to classical music, sparking creativity in young minds, and fostering an inclusive environment where all can experience the joy and inspiration of music. Through our comprehensive engagement programs, we strive to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those we reach.
The Richardson Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to enriching our community through exceptional music and meaningful outreach. Our education and community engagement programs are at the heart of this mission, striving to engage, educate, and unite individuals through the transformative power of music both on stage and beyond. By cultivating new talent and inspiring audiences of all ages, we aim to make a lasting and profound impact.
In addition to delivering critically-acclaimed performances each season, the Richardson Symphony Orchestra is recognized as a pioneer in educational and community outreach efforts. Our prestigious Ann & Charles Eisemann International Young Artists Competition serves as a beacon, drawing gifted young performers from across the globe annually, highlighting the orchestra’s role in nurturing emerging talent.
Furthermore, we are deeply involved in introducing classical music to third grade students throughout the Richardson Independent School District, as well as in local private schools, planting seeds of musical appreciation early in life. Consistent with our belief that music should be available and accessible to everyone, we uphold a steadfast commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This commitment is woven into the fabric of our organization, ensuring that the RSO is reflective of, and accessible to, our entire community.
Our mission to expand these initiatives speaks volumes about our dedication to making music a universal language of connection and inspiration. By embracing this mission, the RSO strives not just for musical excellence, but for an inclusive community where the joy of music is shared and celebrated by all.
