About NWSO

The NWSO is a progressive orchestra that performs the full spectrum of orchestra repertoire.  The NWSO is an enthusiastic group with a high level of camaraderie, a group that really enjoys playing together.  We perform in a variety of halls including Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle for an annual fundraiser for Children's Hospital.  Last year the concert raised $189K in one evening.  Part of this concert was just featured nationally on NBC's "Today Show."

The Northwest Symphony Orchestra completed its 2009 - 2010 season with compositions by Northwest composers Stafford Miller, Gloria Swisher, a piece composed by the Pacific Middle School, facilitated by Glenn Crytzer, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5.

The Northwest Symphony Orchestra begins its 2010 - 2011 season with its first concert in October 2010.
