OUR MISSION

Offer musicians who dedicate themselves to a career other than music the opportunity to play in a high-level orchestra and perform in concert. ​
​
-
Offer musicians a serene and stimulating environment where rigor and the pleasure of playing are the two guidelines, all in an orchestra governed by and for its members. ​
​
-
Present accessible, exciting and memorable concerts where the public can hear well-known works and discover others that deserve to be heard. ​​
​
-
Offer tickets at a reasonable price to give as many people as possible the chance to access the symphony concert experience and offer around a hundred free tickets per year to community organizations.
