The Cambridge Symphony Orchestra is a community music organization that presents classical music for diverse audiences who value great music in an accessible environment.
Our three Masterworks concerts highlight challenging orchestral literature, performed at the highest caliber and featuring world-class soloists; recent projects have included a concert performance of Puccini’s Tosca, a performance of Mahler’s Second Symphony, and the current season’s presentation of Stravinsky’s The Firebird with full choreography. Concerts specifically tailored for young people include our Holiday Pops concerts, our free Pops on the Lawn event, and our annual Family Concert featuring an exceptional young soloist.
