Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra is an American orchestra based in Tallahassee, Florida that was founded in 1979, with Nicholas Harsanyi as director. Harsanyi was a noted violist and a student of Béla Bartók, who later played chamber music with Albert Einstein at Princeton University. After Nicholas Harsanyi's death, the baton was handed on to several guest conductors before being passed to David Hoose, who led the orchestra from 1993 to 2005. Miriam Burns directed the orchestra from 2006 to 2013, and was the first female music director of the Orchestra. Director Darko Butorac took over in July 2013. Butorac concluded his 11-year tenure in May 2024. The Orchestra is currently searching for its next Music Director and has selected five finalists.
