the symphony orchestra’s talented musicians bring delight to audiences of every age and background. Many of the musicians have been with the DSSO for a decade or more and their dedication to the arts is evident in every performance.

The symphony orchestra is a collection of up to 100 musicians who play instruments from four basic families: strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion. Together, these instruments bring a magnificent, rich sonority.

Dirk Meyer brings a personal and entertaining style as the music director of the DSSO.

Erin Aldridge serves as the concertmaster, leading the violins and playing a leadership role within the orchestra as a whole.
