The Dubuque Symphony, the oldest symphony in Iowa, began in 1903 with the formation of a Dubuque orchestra by [[SCHROEDER, Edward J.\|Edward J.

			The annual spring concert of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra was a special occasion as it marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization. Unfortunately the state space available at the [[COLUMBIA COLLEGE]] auditorium only allowed fifty of the musicians to perform. (1)

	By 1937 with students from the Dubuque high schools and the colleges, this became the (Catholic Youth Organization) CYO-Civic Symphony Orchestra at the suggestion of Archbishop [[BECKMAN, Francis J.L.\|Francis J.L. BECKMAN]]. With additional musicians from outside the city and within the [[UNIVERSITY OF DUBUQUE]], the group led by [[SCHROEDER, Edward Wendell\|Edward Wendell SCHROEDER]] ~~developed into~~ the ~~original~~ Dubuque Symphony Orchestra. ~~Concerts were~~ performed at [[CLARKE COLLEGE]] and [[~~LORAS COLLEGE~~]].

			That same year University of Dubuque President Dr. [[COUCHMAN, Gaylord\|Gaylord COUCHMAN]], Music Chair Dr. Doy Baker, and supporters of the Arts, Drs. Paul Laube and Clark Stevens, began efforts to change the name of the orchestra to the University Civic Orchestra to recognize that members came from both the university and Dubuque community. (3)

			The change in name occurred in the 1959-1960 season and Dr. Stevens was elected the first President of the Board of Directors. The orchestra would provide three to four programs a year with outside soloists. They would also schedule their performances in locations larger than Peters Commons, and the cost of the performances would be covered by the selling of tickets. By the 1961-1962 season they performed each of their four concerts in the auditorium of [[DUBUQUE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL]]. (4)

			The board chose to change the name again in 1963. The Dubuque Symphony Orchestra (DSO) reflected the fact that the University of Dubuque chose to give up all governing rights. On October 20, 1963 the first performance of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra was held at Terrence Donahue Hall at [[CLARKE COLLEGE]]. (5)

			Under Mahmoud’s directorship, the DSO grew in size and prestige. After 26 years as conductor he retired in 1985. [[PALMER, Nicholas\|Nicholas PALMER]] was named the DSO’s second Music Director and Conductor in 1986. Under Maestro Palmer’s direction, the orchestra continued to grow steadily in size, ticket sales and public support. The number of concerts performed increased from five in the 1985-1986 season to 27 in the 1991-1992 season. Maestro Palmer was named Conductor Emeritus of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra in 1999 in recognition of his service to the orchestra. (6)

			During the 1999-2000 season, the DSO conducted a nationwide search to fill Maestro Palmer’s position. The Board of Directors together with the patrons of the DSO, overwhelmingly chose [[INTRILIGATOR, William\|William INTRILIGATOR]] to be the third Music Director and Conductor of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra. Under Maestro Intriligator’s leadership the Symphony added opera productions to the season, doubling the number of education concerts and forming new partnerships in the community. (7)

	~~The symphony remained~~ a ~~feature~~ of the ~~university until 1959. Dr. [[MAHMOUD, Parvis\|Parvis MAHMOUD]] took the university~~ orchestra, ~~featuring student musicians and many guest performers, and developed a community~~-~~based orchestra that gave its first concert~~ in ~~1960. Mahmoud served as~~ the ~~only conductor and music director of the symphony until the hiring of [[PALMER, Nicholas\|Nicholas PALMER]]. Palmer~~ was ~~succeeded by [[INTRILIGATOR, William\|William INTRILIGATOR]]~~.		In 2013 the public was invited to a free performance of the orchestra as part of a public television special filmed in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The concert "Ethan Bortnick--Live in Concert," featured the twelve-year-old pianist who was raising money for Parkinson's research. (8)

	In 2015 with twenty-five concerts and performances, the symphony recorded 19,000 people in attendance. This included 2,500 at the Music in the Gardens concert in June at the [[DUBUQUE ARBORETUM AND BOTANICAL GARDENS]], the ensemble's best-attended event of the year. In the same year, 106 young musicians participated in the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra's youth orchestra program--one student short of a record.
