The Duke Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Harry Davidson, seeks to create an exciting and enlivening environment for concert-goers and performers alike.

The orchestra's repertoire ranges from the seventeenth to the twentieth century and includes both well-known masterpieces and rarely heard works. The ensemble consists of more than 100 musicians drawn mostly from the Duke student body. Membership is open to all in the university community. The orchestra rehearses twice a week and gives more than four concerts a year.
