Founded in 1995, the Hanover Symphony is a non-profit community orchestra dedicated to fostering the love of music through entertainment, encouragement, and education. We hope to realize our mission through performances which bring together old and young, professional and amateur, audience and artist in an atmosphere filled with the joyous bond of music. Our principles include:

1. Making live orchestral music accessible to our community
2. Encouraging appreciation of the musical arts in our community
3. Providing performance and scholarship opportunities for musicians
4. Promoting music education in our schools.

The Hanover Symphony Orchestra is a member of the American Symphony Orchestra League and the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce.
