Tampereen akateeminen sinfoniaorkesteri (TASO, Tampere Academic Symphony Orchestra) is an amateur symphony orchestra in Tampere, Finland. It was founded in 2003 and provides a great opportunity for local university students - and others interested - to play in a full symphony orchestra. It consists of about 70 members - many of whom are students at the University of Tampere, Tampere University of Technology or Tampere University of Applied Sciences. TASO performs at least once every autumn and spring.[1]
