Symphony Orchestra

Upcoming Events

We’re excited to return with the 2024-2025 season! This is a transition season as we will be auditioning 3 conductors to become our new Music Director.

About the SSO

In the spring of 1964, Alfred Aulwurm, a native of Oak Lawn and a violinist, teacher, and conductor of many years’ experience, approached Daniel Seyman, Oak Lawn businessman, with a suggestion for establishing a community orchestra, which he proposed to name the Southwest Symphony Orchestra. Seyman, an accomplished violinist himself, called several other persons he thought might be interested.
