Imperial Symphony Orchestra

Since 1965, the Imperial Symphony Orchestra has been educating, entertaining and inspiring central Florida audiences. What began as a group of 30 passionate volunteer musicians has grown to a paid, per-service orchestra serving Polk County and neighboring communities.

EDUCATE

In a recent survey of Imperial Symphony Orchestra patrons, 70% of respondents indicated they would like to learn more about classical music. The ISO offers educational concerts, programs and events for audiences of all ages.

ENTERTAIN

Research shows that arts and creative industries are in the top five drivers attracting people to communities. By performing high quality symphonic and pops music, the Imperial Symphony Orchestra is a major contributor to Polk County’s quality of life.

INSPIRE

Over time, listening to music can improve language skills, creativity and happiness. The Imperial Symphony Orchestra believes that the best way to experience music is LIVE!
