"Many people who go to the MIT Symphony's concerts have probably thought to themselves: This orchestra must have a higher collective IQ than any other. This is probably true. In any case, bright, conscientious, spirited performances are the ensemble's proven norm.

"Few of its members plan to become professional musicians yet it has attained a remarkable standard; it can take on the Mahler Fifth and convey its meaning." - Richard Dyer, Boston Globe
