Holyoke Civic Symphony

The Sound Choice!

The Holyoke Civic Symphony is made up of talented amateur musicians and students who perform an exciting mixture of styles and composers. Our mission is to make orchestral music accessible to Holyoke and the surrounding communities. All of our concerts each season are free of charge.

Our 2026-2027 season is entitled "Significant Figures." That includes significant composers in classical music as well as two significant numerical figures. It's the 60th anniversary of the orchestra's founding, and it's my 30th season as conductor (what!?). We will be marking those two milestones with a special concert in March at Holyoke High School. But every concert this season will feature celebrations of particular, um, significance!

Our concerts are welcoming, unpretentious, and fun for all ages. Come as you are and enjoy the music. We look forward to seeing you in the audience!
