USA Symphony Orchestras
Most information found here was originally located at the orchestras’ sites. If you know of any changes or corrections please email me. I would appreciate it if you include the orchestra website in your email, along with a link to the musicians’ roster. It would save me some time! Thanks much.
I have tried to list only professional groups here, but I’ve now been informed that at least three are semi-professional. What the heck, I’ll keep them on the list for now. It doesn’t hurt anyone, right?
If a name below is highlighted you are seeing a link to that player’s site. Go for a visit! If you are a player who would like a link to your site just let me know and I’ll do that. I can also add your email address if you’d like.
I have more lists:
If you are in a band, chamber group, ballet or opera orchestra or other sort of group, please go to my Double” title=”http://www.oboeinsight.com/DoubleReedmusicians\”>Double” target=”_blank”>www.oboeinsight.com/DoubleReedmusicians”>Double Reed Musicians page to see what other lists are available before you think you are being left out. BUT … if you still see you aren’t listed I’m more than happy to update my lists. (As long as you are nice to me. :-)
Please note: this information is not guaranteed to be accurate. I can’t be held responsible for errors; I have obtained all information either from an orchestra site or from an individual.
