About GSO: Since 1978, the Garland Symphony Orchestra has been providing performances of great orchestral music to Garland and surrounding communities. The GSO has presented over 180 concerts featuring the music of more than 200 composers.
GSO’s first season was led by violinist James Gambino; for the following two seasons, the late Howard Dunn, former conductor of the much-regarded Dallas Wind Symphony, conducted. Mischa Semanitzky took up Garland Symphony Orchestra’s baton for the 1981-82 season and was succeeded by Daniel Hornstein.
In 1986, the current Music Director, Robert Carter Austin took the reins. Under his leadership, the orchestra made the transition from a group of dedicated volunteer musicians to a virtuoso ensemble of the finest professional instrumentalists in the Metroplex. The growth to a prestigious, professional ensemble has created a solid orchestra, with members who have been meeting new challenges and successes with the GSO for more than a decade.
