Welcome to the Symphony Of New Orleans, where we play for the love of music. Nestled among the oaks of St. Charles Avenue, our orchestra is your ticket to a world of high-level music making, eclectic repertoire choices, and a community that is passionate about what we love.
What Makes Us Unique?
Diverse and Dynamic Repertoire: From Beethoven to blockbuster movie scores and nostalgic video game soundtracks, we don’t just stick to the classics! Expect a symphonic rollercoaster every season that’ll transport you to time-periods and places both familiar and unknown.
Harmonious Collaboration: We’re not just an orchestra; we’re part of a musical family. Our sister organization, the Voices of New Orleans Choir, joins our forces to create six magical concerts each year. Two orchestral, two choral, and two choral-symphonic concerts that will leave you humming along.
“After-school” Programs: We believe in nurturing pre-professional musicians’ talents while providing educational opportunities for post-collegiate amateurs. We’re here to fuel the musical passions of both the young and the young at heart.
Community Engagement: We’re not just performers; we’re your neighbors. We’re deeply committed to engaging with our vibrant New Orleans community. From providing scholarships for our musicians’ private lessons, to mentorship programs with our more seasoned players, we’re here to make music accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
New Orleans Spirit: Feel the soul of New Orleans coursing in every piece we play. Our city’s rich cultural history is steeped into our music, creating a symphony that’s uniquely ours and yours to cherish.
