South Dakota Symphony History
The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra (SDSO) was established in 1923, making it the oldest continuing orchestra in the state. It began as a community orchestra, formed to bring classical music to the people of South Dakota. Over the decades, the SDSO has evolved, expanding both its size and repertoire. The orchestra initially performed in school auditoriums and community centers but gained a permanent home with the establishment of the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls in 1999. This state-of-the-art facility allowed the SDSO to host a variety of concerts, including classical symphonic performances, pops concerts, and chamber music series. The orchestra has also been instrumental in fostering local talent and collaborating with musicians and composers from the region. Igniting a love for music in the community, the SDSO has actively engaged in educational outreach programs aimed at inspiring young musicians and promoting the appreciation of orchestral music among the public.
