Friends of the Symphony
The UCI Symphony Orchestra is one of the premier performance ensembles at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts. In existence since 1966, the orchestra offers music majors, non-music majors, faculty, and community members an opportunity to study and perform symphonic music with the highest standards. Under the direction of Maestro Stephen Tucker, the orchestra frequently collaborates with outstanding faculty performers and professional soloists. The orchestra provides accompaniment for a number of on-campus UCI Opera and Dance productions. In addition, the orchestra performs off-campus for UCI’s Arts Outreach K-12 program and other community events.
