The A.S.O. is North East Michigan's only orchestra. It was founded in 2004 to give both players and listeners in the area a chance to appreciate, participate, and enjoy classical music. The priority of the Alpena Symphony Orchestra is to share the beauty of orchestral music with the residents of Alpena and the surrounding communities. The ASO season runs from May - December, and includes three full orchestral concerts and two small ensemble concerts. For concert dates or more information, see their web site.
