History
The Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra tradition began in June 1933. In 1998, a historic Concert for Peace joined together the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra in celebration of the fourth anniversary of the signing of the
Dayton Peace Accords. The concert symbolized the partnerships of the people of Dayton and Sarajevo in the building of lasting peace in
Bosnia.

About Dayton Philharmonic
The Dayton Philharmonic has received the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music three times; and has gained special recognition for its educational and community outreach programs, serving 90,000 children in fourteen counties — more children than any other orchestra of their budget size in the United States.
The DPO has been housed in the
Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center since 2003. Prior to that, the orchestra played concerts at Montgomery County's Memorial Hall, the Dayton Convention Center, and the
Victoria Theatre. The orchestra has been led by
Musical Director Neal Gittleman since 1994.
The Dayton Philharmonic is a fully professional, unionized orchestra comprised of musicians who also teach in area high schools, universities and privately. In addition to a full symphony orchestra, the Dayton Philharmonic supports a
chamber orchestra, five
chamber ensembles, a professional concert band, a 140-voice all-volunteer Chorus and two youth orchestras. The yearly budget of just under $4 million makes the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra the largest performing arts institution in the Miami Valley.
