History

Established in 2004.

The idea for Lake Murray Symphony Orchestra began in 2001 when a small group of musicians performed with the Lexington County Choral Society. Several players in that group saw the potential for a larger ensemble and founded a steering committee. Headed by artistic director Dr. Einar Anderson, the committee successfully incorporated the orchestra, recruited additional musicians, obtained non-​profit status, held a fund raising event, and organized LMSO’s première concert, which was presented on March 28, 2004. The first Board of Directors was elected May 18, 2004.
