This award winning community orchestra, which includes both amateur and professional musicians, is celebrating its 79th season of great music making. Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. and are held at Concordia University in River Forest. Performances are held at 4:00 with a pre-concert lecture at 3:00 - our concerts are held at the Performing Arts Center at Domincan University, located at 7900 West Division St. in River Forest, IL.
As a not-for-profit organization, volunteers are the backbone of the organization. Volunteering is a wonderful way of donating a portion of your time and your expertise to give back to your community. As a volunteer you will be behind the scenes and experience the day to day operations and be a part of a vibrant arts organization. Your volunteering can make an important contribution. The Symphony of Oak Park & River Forest welcomes those interested in volunteering their time and talents to contact the symphony. Let us know your preference and we'll forward you along to the appropriate contact!
