Award-Winning Community Music in Metro Detroit

Welcome!


The Royal Oak Symphony Orchestra (ROSO) brings high-caliber classical and modern orchestral music to life. Powered by over 60 passionate volunteer musicians, we are proud to be named the Detroit Music Award Winner for Outstanding Community Orchestra (2020 & 2022).

🎻 Our Story: Passion Since 1995

Founded in 1995 by Peter Tolias, the Royal Oak Symphony Orchestra was built on a simple idea: bringing the joy of live music to our neighbors. Today, our ensemble consists of local adult musicians—teachers, doctors, engineers, and retirees—united by a shared love for performance.This collective enthusiasm fuels our performances and connects us with our community.

What people have to say about ROSO

I love attending ROSO concerts! They always have beautiful music. I try to get to at least one per season. I wish I lived closer so I could attend all of them!
