About the Symphony
The UC Davis Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1959, and has since established itself as a major campus and community arts offering. The UC Davis Symphony has toured California, Canada, and Australia and French Polynesia. In June 2003 the orchestra traveled to France to participate in the Berlioz bicentenary over the course of a series of five concerts. It regularly serves as the pit orchestra for UCD Mainstage productions and appears at major campus events and ceremonies, including Fall Convocation and Commencements. The UC Davis Symphony is a principal resident ensemble at the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts located near the entrance of the campus along Interstate-80.
