Chandler Symphony Orchestra
The Chandler Symphony Orchestra’s roots began with an orchestra that Maestro Jack Herriman conducted at Mesa Community College. In 1991, when their rehearsal location was no longer available, the majority of the orchestra players joined together to form the beginnings of what they would name the San Marcos Symphony in 1993. In 2006, the orchestra was re-named the Chandler Symphony Orchestra, due in part to the efforts and support of Chandler City Council and former mayor, Boyd Dunn. The symphony’s mission is to serve “… the greater Chandler community by providing a series of classical concerts, free of charge to the general public, performed by professionally trained musicians who volunteer their time and talents.
