"The orchestra began Chopin’s work under the firmness of Golan, a highly experienced baton, who impressed a constant unity on the ensemble throughout the performance. The evening continued with Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade”, which the ensemble performed with dynamic variances that were always wisely crafted...guided by the sensitive directorial intuition of Lawrence Golan. At the end of the evening, the sold-out audience bestowed repeated and meritorious approval on the very capable musicians."

Founded in 1933 and one of York County, Pennsylania's cultural gems, York Symphony Orchestra has performed without interruption throughout the depression and World War II. Each year, the orchestra presents a series of classical, pops, and young person concerts.

With 2 years left on his current contract, the 8-year extension leads him to YSO's 100-year milestone.

The York Symphony Orchestra has committed to an 8-year contract extension with current Music Director and Maestro Lawrence Golan. Golan has been expertly leading the YSO's orchestra since 2014. With 2 years left on his current contract, the 8-year extension leads him to YSO's 100-year milestone.

"The fact that the organization believes in me enough to want to keep me on the podium for at least the next ten years. But beyond that, the York Symphony Orchestra has been growing and improving steadily over the past ten years. We are firing on all cylinders." Golan said.

Golan continues to grow not only the audience but also the musical excellence of all musicians on stage. Recognized as a treasured leader in the musical community, Golan strives to connect on and off the stage.
