TOURING
Each season, the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra brings a rare opportunity to our state through Touring Ensembles that travel to various communities in the region. These ensembles consist of the orchestra’s nine core members, also known as the Dakota String Quartet and the Dakota Wind Quintet.

The South Dakota Symphony's Chamber Orchestra has also begun to tour throughout the state and region. The Chamber Orchestra consists of 18-25 musicians.

The primary focus of our Touring Ensembles is to help students master their instruments and broaden their appreciation for classical music. These professional musicians are excited to share their knowledge with you.
