The Delaware County Symphony (DCS) was established in 1971, when the orchestra changed its name from the Media Community Symphony. In 1975, the DCS merged with the Springfield Sinfonietta, and Roman Pawlowski was selected as the Music Director of this combined group the following year. The DCS operated under the sponsorship of the Delaware County Community College until 1987, when the DCS moved to the Life Center at Neumann College (now Neumann University) in Aston to benefit from a larger auditorium and more spacious stage, auxiliary meeting and reception facilities, and other services generously provided by the college. The DCS was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1988. Mr. Pawlowski retired in 2010, and was succeeded by the orchestra’s current music director, Jeremy Gill. The DCS is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected from members of the symphony and the community.
