The American Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is a renowned ensemble that captures the spirit and legacy of American orchestral music. Founded in the 1960s on the principle of democratizing classical music, the ASO has consistently dedicated itself to innovative programming and engaging performances under the direction of prominent conductors. While based in New York, the orchestra has toured extensively and performed in a variety of venues, bringing classical masterpieces and lesser-known works to audiences of all backgrounds.

In their recent repertoire, the ASO has shown a particular affinity for the works of Franz Schubert, showcasing a breadth of the composer's output. From the majestic breadth of Schubert's Symphony No. 9 in C Major, D. 944 "Great" to the vocal intricacies of "Die Verschworenen," D. 787 and "Mirjams Siegesgesang," D. 942, the orchestra has demonstrated both versatility and depth. The inclusion of Berio's "Rendering" and Suppé's "Franz Schubert" further illustrates the ASO's commitment to exploring the connections between composers and the evolution of orchestral music. By interpreting both traditional symphonies and thematic vocal compositions, the American Symphony Orchestra continues to honor the timeless tradition of symphonic music while also pushing the boundaries of the concert hall experience.
