We’re Auditioning!

We have the following open positions for our orchestra:

  • Section strings

  • French horn

  • Percussion

We’ll be holding auditions throughout the season, by appointment. Check out our audition info page for more info!


Family-Friendly Concerts

Bring the kids! We put on a special show just for our younger audience that’s geared to maximize their enjoyment while providing a fulfilling musical program for the whole family. Bobby Collins, our musical director, will take your through a musical journey you’re sure to learn a thing or two from.

Our family-friendly concerts are shorter in duration to keep things fun for everyone. We’re committed to bringing the enjoyment of the symphony and music in general to people of all ages!


Traditional Symphony Programs

We also put on our full-length symphony production in the more traditional concert format where we typically play an overture, a concerto, and a feature symphony. Don’t worry, you don’t have to dress up — that’s our job!

Each of our programs are designed around a central theme — whether it be the life of a composer or something more abstract. We aim to guide our audience on a journey, using our music to tell the story.
