Symphony by the Sea
The premier classical orchestra North of Boston
CELEBRATING OUR 31st SEASON
Donald Palma, Music Director and Conductor
Welcome to Symphony by the Sea!
Our orchestra is recognized as a cultural gem, which is nurtured in order to achieve the vision of an ever-expanding community of music lovers of all ages and backgrounds centered on Symphony by the Sea. The Board of Directors believes that we must educate young people to be the audiences of the future. We believe that our lives will be the richer for having this asset.
Once again you will hear outstanding performances under the inspired baton of Music Director Donald Palma. Unlike other orchestras north of Boston, Symphony by the Sea is composed of professional musicians from the Boston area who take pleasure in bringing selected classical compositions to audiences closer to their homes on Boston's North Shore.
We thank you for your support and generosity and hope that we can continue to count on you in our audience in the future.
And now, let the music begin!
