From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra is an American orchestra which plays most of its concerts in Gaillard Auditorium on Calhoun Street in downtown Charleston. The orchestra was founded in 1936 by Miss Maude Winthrop Gibbon and Mrs. Martha Laurens Patterson. It currently employs 46 full-time musicians as well as a music director and a resident-conductor. Currently, David Stahl is the music director and conductor. The orchestra's demanding concert schedule both on stage and in the community make it the largest year-round performing arts organization in South Carolina.[1]
