A full symphonic orchestra experience, the Anderson Symphony Orchestra (AS) is a civic orchestra made up of community members of the Anderson area, Anderson University students, and talented high school students. Founded in 1975 by the Greater Anderson Music Arts Consortium (GAMAC), this group has graciously collaborated with Anderson University in partnership with conductor, Dr. Andrew Pettus.
From standard orchestra repertoire to Christmas Music to pops music, this group performs a wide variety of literature in their 3-4 concerts each year. In their spring AU’s Got Talent Concert select Anderson University music students perform concertos and arias with the orchestra.
ASO meets Monday evenings. For students, the course is one credit hour. Auditions are required to join the Anderson Symphony Orchestra. Contact Dr. Andrew Pettus for auditions and ensemble information at apettus@andersonuniversity.edu
