The Dover Symphony Orchestra’s mission is “toprovide live performances of classical and orchestral music, to further the musical arts generally and symphonic music particularly by the giving and sponsoring of orchestral performances and to provide educational and performing opportunities for the citizens of Delaware and neighboring communities relating to the musical arts, and particularly to encourage the interest of young people in the musical arts and to do those things which are reasonably needed to effectuate the aforementioned purposes.”

In other words, we strive to bring live performances of classical and orchestral music to the Dover and Central Delaware area, to provide an outlet for classical and orchestral musicians, and to foster the interest of local students in orchestral music.
