About
Founded in 1951, the orchestra has grown to become a cultural pillar of Marietta and Cobb County. With a mission to break down access barriers and ensure that the transformative power of music serves all members of the community, the GSO enriches lives and creates impact far beyond the concert hall through innovative and engaging performances, world-class educational programs, and intentional community engagement. The orchestra offers a variety of programs, including the Georgia Youth Symphony Orchestra, which is the largest in the southeast, and the Georgia Symphony Chorus. They also offer Sensory Friendly Concerts, welcoming and judgment-free musical experiences for individuals with sensory sensitivities. The GSO is deeply woven into the life of the city, partnering with local churches and organizations to bring music to the community. With a commitment to excellence, inclusivity, diversity, community, stewardship, engagement, and education, the Georgia Symphony Orchestra continues to serve as a cultural heartbeat of Marietta.
