Catskill Symphony Orchestra

Oneonta is the second-smallest city in the U.S. to host its own professional symphony orchestra.

The Catskill Symphony Orchestra (“CSO”) is central to what makes Upstate New York’s Catskill and Leatherstocking regions so special. Founded in 1953 and officially incorporated in 1974, the CSO has dazzled countless audiences and provided the region with continuous, live symphonic music throughout the years. 

With strong community support, an exceptional composition of professional union musicians and devoted leadership, the CSO is steadily growing and remains Upstate New York’s premier hometown symphony orchestra.
