About Us
OUR MISSION
The Rock Hill Symphony’s mission is to inspire, engage, and enrich the lives of community members with the transformative power of symphonic music through excellence in live performance, educational programs, and community activities.
OUR HISTORY
In 2017, the RHSO was established by a group of musicians and local supporters with the goal in mind of serving all of York County. It is a fully professional orchestra made up of some of the finest players from throughout the region. In 2018, the Board of Directors appointed Dr. David Rudge as the Symphony's Music Director and Conductor. RHSO is a tax exempt, nonprofit 501c3 organization.
