Help us complete the record

The first fifty seasons are still out there.

What you see above is what's been catalogued so far — but the Cape Ann Symphony has been making music since 1952. We'd love to push back into the archives and recover the programmes, soloists, and stories from the orchestra's earlier decades.

If you have old programmes, photographs, recordings, or memories you'd like to share — or you'd simply enjoy helping us research, transcribe, and assemble the full history — we'd love to hear from you.
