Cal Poly Symphony and Choirs History
The Cal Poly Symphony and Choirs have a rich historical background that dates back to the early founding of California Polytechnic State University in 1901. The university has always placed a strong emphasis on the arts, and over the decades, the Symphony and Choirs have developed into one of the premier performing ensembles in the region. The Cal Poly Symphony, established in the late 1950s, provides a platform for talented student musicians to perform classical and contemporary orchestral works. Meanwhile, the Choirs, which began forming in the 1960s, have evolved to include multiple groups, such as the University Singers and the Cal Poly Chamber Choir. These ensembles not only serve the university community but also engage and enrich the broader San Luis Obispo area through a variety of concerts throughout the academic year. The Symphony and Choirs have featured numerous acclaimed conductors and composers, establishing a tradition of musical excellence that fosters both education and artistic expression for students.
