What began as The Friends of Music in 1943 has become an approximately 80-member professional orchestra serving communities in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. The Toledo Symphony boasts a diverse menu of programs, from the standard “Classics,” “Pops,” and “Family” series to the more specialized offerings of the “Mozart & More” and “Chamber” series.
The orchestra has collaborated with such prominent guests as Mstislav Rostropovich, Yo-Yo Ma, Tony Bennett, Midori, Bobby McFerrin, and Aretha Franklin. In addition to pre-concert talks, there are educational opportunities that include numerous concert series for children, the Toledo Youth Orchestra, and the Toledo Symphony School of Music.
