[1] The orchestra's home is The Gordon Theater on the campus of Rutgers University–Camden, and its current music director is Noam Aviel.
The Haddonfield Symphony began as an amateur, volunteer ensemble for music lovers in 1952.
The shift from an amateur to a semiprofessional ensemble caused controversy about the symphony's mission [3] and in May 1991, the majority of amateur volunteers refused to put on a scheduled show, quit the Haddonfield Symphony and formed the Philharmonic of Southern New Jersey.
[2] As part of a strategic plan, in the 2006–2007 season, the symphony began a new era and it moved its entire concert series to the Gordon Theater on the Rutgers University-Camden campus, in Camden, New Jersey.
[5] The orchestra's successful first performances in Camden ended their nomadic ways, and they settled into a permanent home there.
