About the Orchestra

History of Cornell Symphony Orchestra

The Cornell Symphony Orchestra has been a part of the Cornell University tradition for nearly a century. The ensemble has included hundreds of musicians under a large roster of conductors and has given performances that span a significant part of Cornell's astounding history.

In 1905 George L. Coleman organized the University Orchestra as a volunteer organization without financial backing from the University, but in 1919 Gerald W. Hinkley '16, a loyal friend of the orchestra died and left a bequest of $20,000 to the orchestra. The interest from this endowment is now used to support the activities of the orchestra to the present day.

Before the creation of the University orchestra students who were musically inclined were invited to play with the Orchestra Club of Ithaca, which later became the Cornell Music Association. This organization largely of town membership, carried through to 1902 when Coleman became director of the orchestra. The first concert master of the Cornell University Orchestra was Hendrik Willem Van Leon, nationally known author.
