Delaware Symphony Orchestra

Fall 2026 marks Michelle Di Russo's second season as the conductor of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra. But, because an orchestra's season is planned long before the orchestra takes the stage, it's the first season programmed by Di Russo in her role as the symphony's music director. The result: a season of concerts that bring familiar classics to the stage alongside cutting-edge and innovative new works.On this week's Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media's Martin Matheny talked to Michelle Di Russo about how the season came together, what drives her creative choices, the importance of platforming new music, and the surprising things she listens to on her own time.

The Delaware Symphony Orchestra wrap up its season this month with a pair of concerts in Wilmington and Lewes.On this edition of Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media's Martin Matheny gets a preview of the show from the orchestra's music director, Michelle Di Russo, along with her reflections on her first season leading the symphony.
