The ESO became a professional orchestra in 1985 and has since developed a reputation for artistic excellence, innovative programming, and a deep commitment to the social advocacy and economic development of the diverse community it serves. In recognition of programming excellence, artistic quality, and leadership, the Illinois Council of Orchestras awarded the ESO ‘Orchestra of the Year’ honors in 1988, 1999, 2005, and 2016 – the first four-time winner.   The 2023/24 season marks conductor Chad Goodman’s inaugural season as Music Director of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra.  This concert features members of the ESO brass section.
