One of Ridgefield’s cultural treasures, the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra (RSO) performed its debut concert on April 4, 1965 and became a fully professional ensemble in 1968. Since then, the orchestra has continuously grown in size and in the quality of its performances and attracts appreciative audiences from as far as 50-100 miles away. Performances at Richardson Auditorium feature an orchestra with 70-90 musicians, depending on the music that has been programmed. Concerts at the Ridgefield Playhouse use a chamber-sized orchestra of 20 to 30 musicians. The musicians come to Ridgefield from more than 30 different communities and are well respected orchestra players throughout the greater New York and New England area. http://www.ridgefieldsymphony.org/
