The International Symphony Orchestra of Sarnia, Ontario and Port Huron, Michigan began in 1957.
The Orchestra is a non-profit organization and consists of around fifty-five musicians who are from both sides of the border between the United States and Canada.
[1][2] After an extensive search lasting nearly two years, the Orchestra selected Douglas Bianchi of Wayne State University in 2012 as its new music director.
In 1984, the Symphony Singers joined forces with the Orchestra, and this auditioned chorus remains with the group today.
In 2014, harmonica virtuoso Mike Stevens headlined the orchestra's "Classics Cross Country" concert.
