Hershey Symphony Musicians

The Hershey Symphony Orchestra is made up of volunteer musicians giving of their time and talent for the love of creating quality music together. Some of our members have been with us for decades, while others are playing with us for their very first season. We honor each of them and give them our heartfelt thanks. Each musician is listed under their primary section; an asterisk following their name indicates that they may play in a different section as needed.
