Performing since the mid 1800s, the Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra sets the standard high when performing classic and new orchestral works. Directed by Dr. Benjamin Klemme, the WCSO performs regularly at Wheaton College, participates in the Christmas Festival, and tours around the region, nation, and overseas.
Notable performances include Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Respigi’s Pines of Rome, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, and Elgar’s Enigma Variations. In 2012, the WCSO won the American Prize under the direction of Dr. Daniel Sommerville. Above all, the WCSO strives to integrate classical performance with Christ-like love and worship.
