Our Musicians

The Amherst Symphony Orchestra is a volunteer orchestra made up of fine musicians who have had years of training and experience. They are unique in that most are engaged in careers outside of music...physicians, teachers, business employees, sales representatives, and more. These musicians are dedicated to coming together to make music because they love to play their instruments and after the rehearsals, bring that music to their audience.
