About the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra (SDSO) is based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a vibrant and growing community serving a 125-mile region that touches five states. Known for innovative programming and statewide outreach, the SDSO has a strong heritage upon which to build an even stronger future. SDSO was the 2016 winner of the Bush Prize for Community Innovation. The Bush Prize for Community Innovation, which is given by the St. Paul-Minnesota based Bush Foundation, recognizes organizations for their innovative work in community engagement. In addition, the SDSO was selected as one of five orchestras in the country to participate in a three-year composer residency through New Music USA, which brings American Indian composer Jerod Impichcaachaaha' Tate to SDSO through 2019. SDSO is the region’s premiere performing arts organization with the Washington Pavilion as its home. Artistically, SDSO is led by Maestro Delta David Gier, who has guided the orchestra to new musical heights. The core of SDSO is comprised of nine full-time professional musicians that make up the Dakota String Quartet and the Dakota Wind Quintet. Musically, SDSO performs well above its $2.3 million budget. ### For information, please contact: Dirk Lammers, Cetera Services PR and Marketing Manager South Dakota Symphony Orchestra [email protected] (605) 254-3472 PH: (605) 335-7933 301 S.
