The repertoire of the orchestra follows all historical and stylistic directions - from Baroque to New Music. In addition, works by contemporary artists are frequently presented. Numerous premieres bear witness to the orchestra's high commitment to New Musik.
In addition, there have been successful guest performances throughout Germany and in neighbouring countries.
In 2017, a tournée took the orchestra among others to the People's Republic of China.
For years, the orchestra has been dedicating itself to new groups of visitors with great success. Concerts are offered in kindergartens, schools, hospitals and old people's homes in and outside Göttingen, and public dress rehearsals are organised especially for the target groups of children, young people, the disabled and older citizens.
In addition, there exist numerous CDs and radio recordings with the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra.
