In autumn 1990 the SSO Marburg was founded by a student initiative and led by the Marburg conductor Gerhard Weber. After Weber's departure in 1993, the Association of Student Symphony Orchestra Marburg eV was founded and found its future conductor in Burchard Schäfer, who was studying music in Frankfurt at the time .
