The North Bay Symphony orchestra performs a wide variety of music and works with talented guest artists from across the country. Our performances take place at the Capitol Centre and include 4 two-hour main series concerts, and 2 one-hour family matinee concerts. As the largest producing arts organization in the region, we provide music education programs through area schools, private lessons for youth and adults, ensemble performance opportunities for youth, as well as free concerts throughout the community. The organization's mission is "Inspiring Community Through Music". The Symphony was incorporated in 1976 as a charitable organization and has been operating continuously for 39 years; it is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and engages 2 part-time staff and over 100 volunteers. 55-60 musicians perform in each of the Symphony's concerts. Roughly two-thirds are local volunteer musicians and one-third professional musicians. Nothing beats the experience of a live symphony orchestra! We look forward to seeing you in the concert hall.
