Founded in 1961, the Richardson Symphony is the resident symphony of the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and offers a variety of classical and pops concerts each season.

In addition to the critically-acclaimed season performances, the Richardson Symphony is also widely regarded as a leader in education and community outreach programs. The Lennox International Young Artists Competition annually draws talented young performers from around the world. The orchestra is also actively involved in elementary education programs in the Richardson Independent School District and in programs benefiting students at local universities.
