Share a gift with the Symphony
The Concerts of our 74th Season.
A Musical Journey From the Majestic to the Serene.
“As the conductor of the Cape Ann Symphony, I am thrilled to welcome you to our 2025–26 Season! Together with our amazing musicians, I eagerly anticipate sharing the incredible pieces and talented soloists that will grace our stage. One of the greatest joys of live performance is the opportunity to come together in person and experience the masterpieces of musical giants from various places, cultures, and times. This shared experience enriches our emotional worlds in ways that recorded music simply cannot. Your presence is what brings our performances to life, and I am truly grateful for your continued support. Thank you for joining us on this wonderful musical journey. I look forward to creating unforgettable memories with you!”
