ABOUT US
OUR STORY
The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1918 and is the longest continually active orchestra in the state of Wisconsin! As a community-based professional orchestra, most of our musicians call The Lakeshore community home, but we also have musicians from all over Wisconsin.
The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra is led by the Music Director Ernesto Estigarribia Mussi. Each orchestra season includes three classical concerts, a yearly holiday concert, and an annual children’s concert, all performed at the prestigious Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Sheboygan. The varied repertoire provides a unique musical experience for the audience and performers.
In the early 1980s, the Sheboygan Symphony partnered with the Sheboygan Area School District to form the Sheboygan Area Youth Symphony. The youth symphony has a rich history of talented musicians, dedicated conductors, and tireless volunteers. Many current and former members have performed with the Sheboygan Symphony and other orchestras nationwide. For more information on our youth symphonies, please click here.
The Sheboygan Symphony Chorus was founded in 1994 by Janet L. Herrick and today is under the direction of Wilhelmina Nelmes Vogtle. The chorus is composed of 80 voices and performs several concerts each year with the Sheboygan Symphony.

Titan
We end the season triumphantly, with one of the greatest American masterpieces, Samuel Barber’s youthful violin concerto, with lush passages and a fireworks finale. Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony, called “Titan,” features evocations of nature, Austrian country dances, darkly witty klezmer tunes and a stunning grand finale.
Barber: Violin Concerto Soloist, John Bian, violin Mahler: Symphony No. 1, “Titan”
