Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Society

Symphony performances - last year the Charlotte Symphony delivered 140 performances for more than 130,000 patrons. Events encompassed a diverse range of experiences, from classical, pops, movie, and family series concerts to collaborations with the opera and ballet. Additionally, the Symphony performed informal concerts in local breweries, community spaces, and parks; and provided educational concerts for thousands of children.

Community education - an intensive afterschool youth program focused on Charlotte's children with the greatest needs and fewest resources, project harmony is a music and leadership program aimed at expanding the vision of what is possible for our area youth. Children are given free instruments, Orchestra ensemble training, and academic support.

Youth orchestras - with the belief that making music is a right, not a privilege, we actively nurture the next generation of musicians and music lovers by supporting two youth orchestras focused on dual goals of extraordinary music education and diversity, equity and inclusion. We provide a nurturing environment for our young musicians to create lasting bonds through music and friendship, and instill the values of community service through music.
