The Sydney University Symphony Orchestra, is a collection of students and faculty who love music. Originally known as the Pro Musica Orchestra, it was founded in 1948 by Donald Peart. It is now one of the most established performing arts societies at The University of Sydney.

The orchestra consists of over 70 students from all faculties and campuses of the university including the Conservatorium. In addition to our rehearsal and performance schedule we organise social events, including barbecues and dinners which provide members with many opportunities to make friends and enjoy university life. Our concert season features three concerts each year and our home venue is the Great Hall in the university's grand neo-gothic Quadrangle.
