Our Vision _

We believe that symphonic music should be available and accessible to everyone, as we provide an opportunity for local professional musicians to perform in an orchestra in their own community.

The Monterey Bay Symphony promotes the enjoyment and understanding of orchestral music in Monterey County through free concerts at beautiful outdoor venues. We encourage community involvement, our concerts offer classical and popular music to our community members, and our volunteers bring valuable musical experiences to local teens.

As one of the few arts organizations in the Monterey Bay area to provide free public concerts on a large scale, the Monterey Bay Symphony contributes to the awareness of community talent and diversity by inviting local artists to perform with the symphony.

Through a variety of ensembles, the Monterey Bay Symphony acts as a catalyst in fostering collaborative efforts in which music appreciation, cultural awareness, and unity are nurtured.  In so doing, we help to bring Monterey County communities together.

The Difference_

Although several organizations present concerts in Monterey County, the Monterey Bay Symphony is the only local symphony providing accessible orchestral concerts to the public at no charge on an ongoing basis.  We also provide much-needed musical support to other organizations through various ensembles derived from the symphony musicians.  We are dedicated to mentoring local teens in their musical aspirations.  These efforts help young people avoid destructive behaviors and learn valuable life skills through positive interaction with adult professionals.
