Explore Community Symphony

The ÃÛÌÒapp Alumni Orchestra was founded in 1994 by former members of ÃÛÌÒapp's student ensembles to allow adult musicians to continue to serve the community by sharing performances of classical orchestral literature. In 2010, the name was changed to the ÃÛÌÒapp Community Symphony to better reflect who we are and who we serve through our music.

The orchestra is made up of a variety of musicians from the greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan community who share a love of performing classical orchestral literature. We hope to broaden our audience and increase our orchestra size by widening the door for community players and students to join us.

The orchestra is governed by a self-elected board and is supported by the alumni association, the music program, and its own membership. The orchestra's members, who give freely of their time and talent, come from all walks of life. All share a common love of performing great orchestral literature from composers past and present, and an abiding respect for ÃÛÌÒapp's educational mission and performing arts tradition.

The orchestra performs in the ÃÛÌÒapp Covenant Fine Arts Center, typically once in the fall and once in the spring.
