The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra is a hub for connecting our community. Using the highest standards of music making by professional musicians, they make music happen in all the places you call home. They make music happen not only on stage but in classrooms, day care centers, libraries, farmers markets, senior centers and assisted living complexes. A2SO brings together community partners from A to Z – from the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum to Zingerman’s to make great music happen.
