After serving as RSO Music Director for 30 years, Steven Larsen retired in Fall 2021. Over 200 conductors applied to take his place, and in 2022 nine Finalists are coming to Rockford to meet the community and conduct the orchestra.

When you experience an RSO concert this season, whether in person or through the ComEd Digital Stage, we want you to Be Part of the Choice of selecting our next Music Director. Be sure to fill out the Post-Concert Survey (on the digital stage page for each concert), and let us know what you think!
