Notable_instruments = The Peoria Symphony Orchestra is an American orchestra based in Peoria, Illinois. Founded in 1898 as the Bradley Symphony Orchestra (under conductor Harold Plowe), it is the fifteenth oldest orchestra in Illinois. In 1915, the orchestra was incorporated as the Peoria Symphony Orchestra.
After Plowe retired in 1927, the next fifty years saw almost a dozen conductors lead the orchestra. In 1978, William Wilsen became Musical Director, and led the group until 1999. Current conductor David Commanday joined the group Summer 1999.
The orchestra performs at the Peoria Civic Center, and has featured soloists including Emanuel Ax, Joshua Bell, Evelyn Glennie, Hilary Hahn, Sharon Isbin, Yo-Yo Ma, and Itzhak Perlman. Principal players for the PSO include Marcia Henry Liebenow, Katherine Lewis, Adrianna Ransom, Karl E. H. Seigfried, Kyle Dzapo, Michael Ericson, and Roger Garrett.
