The Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra is the primary orchestra of the University of Notre Dame. The orchestra is an ensemble of 70-80 players devoted to the orchestral music of the 18th through 20th centuries. The orchestra is open to all members (students, faculty and staff) of the Notre Dame community; non-music majors who wish to continue instrumental performance during their college careers are particularly encouraged to participate. The orchestra currently rehearses on Tuesday evenings and presents three campus concerts in the Marie DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts. The orchestra also occasionally takes off-campus tours.
Each year a concerto competition for instrumental performers is held in November with the winner or winners appearing with the orchestra in concert during the spring semester. General auditions for new and returning members of the orchestra are held during the first week of fall classes, but individual auditions can be arranged by appointment.
In the spring of 2006, the orchestra performed with the Grammy-award-winning band known as "The Chieftains" at Carnegie Hall in New York City for a St. Patrick's Day concert.
In the spring of 2007, the orchestra went on a Florida tour, visiting sights and enlivening audiences with their music. In January 2011, the orchestra went on a similar tour through the gulf coast, making stops in Florida, Alabama, New Orleans, and Tennessee.
In the fall of 2007, the symphony performed with the acclaimed jazz master Dave Brubeck and his quartet. This performance included some of Brubeck's own mass pieces, such as "To Hope!" and "Upon This Rock" with full choral accompaniment.
In June 2017, the orchestra went on their first European tour which included cities in Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.
In December 2023, the orchestra embarked on their first domestic tour after the Covid-19 pandemic, sharing their annual Christmas setlist in a sweep of Central and Eastern US alongside Notre Dame's Men's Glee Club. They were joined by local alumni in Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City, playing in venues such as Pittsburgh's historic Heinz Hall and Philadelphia's Verizon Hall.
