Since its inception in 1970 the UCI Symphony Orchestra has trained both students and community musicians alike. Through its performances of works from the standard classical and contemporary symphonic repertoire, its accompanying of numerous soloists, as well as its yearly operatic and musical theater productions, the orchestra has been a visible artistic presence in the Irvine community. Having had several noted musicians including Mehli Mehta, Alvaro Cossuto, Zelman Bokser, and Thomas Cockrell as conductors, the orchestra continued to develop into a highly
successful university orchestra, boasting a membership of over fifty musicians. The orchestra has been led by Professor Stephen Tucker since 2000.
