After more than two years of searching for, interviewing, and auditioning candidates, we are thrilled to announce Wesley Schulz as our new Music Director.
He will take the podium and lead our orchestra beginning with the start of our 2018-2019 season in October.

Here are just a few excerpts from the writing of Robert Whale at the Auburn Reporter:
“Lee Valenta, general manager of the Auburn Symphony Orchestra, described some of the newly-minted maestro’s special qualities.
“He’s very engaging, and I think that was one of the elements that helped us decide. Given that he met all the other criteria, that was an important part of it, and I think we just liked what we saw on all levels. He had the hard and soft skills,” Valenta said.”
““I tell people – and I mean it honestly – this is one of the best regional orchestras in the Pacific Northwest.” - Wesley Schulz”
““We are all looking to share this art form with young people as an option for their appreciation, or perhaps to spark young people’s interest in picking up an instrument some day. We want to expand our role in that capacity, seeing what we can do with schools in the Auburn area and other youth organizations.” - Wesley Schulz”
