Our Story
Our journey began in 1995 when Peter Tolias founded our orchestra. Since then, we have been led by many talented conductors, including John Robertson, John Dovaras, and various guest conductors. These individuals have played a vital role in shaping our orchestra’s growth and artistic direction.
Our orchestra is led by John McLaughlin Williams, who is in his sixth season as our music director and conductor. Mr. Williams has previously conducted many esteemed orchestras, such as the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Symphony, and the National Symphony of Ukraine. We are honored to have him as part of our team and appreciate his dedication to Royal Oak Symphony Orchestra.
Under Mr. Williams’ leadership, we continue to strive for musical excellence and captivate our audiences with memorable performances. With each passing year, we grow stronger as a community orchestra, sharing the power and beauty of music with our beloved local community.
