Symphony Orchestra
The University Symphony Orchestra is the premiere orchestral ensemble at the University of Louisville, performing a great variety of orchestral literature from standard repertoire to music of the 21st century. Primarily composed of music majors (undergraduate and graduate), the USO is open, by audition, to any UofL student. Each year, the USO presents no less than 6 concerts including the highly popular Halloween Spooktacular and the New Music Festival concert which includes music by guest composers such as Karel Husa, John Corigliano and Michael Colgrass as well as world premieres by faculty and student composers. The USO also performs at least one concert per semester of purely orchestral works. Recent program repertoire has included Elgar's Enigma Variations, Franck's Symphony in d minor and Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. In addition to its own performance schedule, the USO regularly joins the University of Louisville Dance Academy in performance of "Clara's Dream" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite and the University of Louisville Opera Theatre for a fully staged production. Recent operas include The Mikado, The Tender Land and A Beggar's Opera.
