“The mission of the Tampa Bay Symphony is to promote interest in classical music in the Tampa Bay area, to encourage and educate youth throughout Florida with a “Young Artist Competition” and by other means, to promote the creation of new music and provide a channel for living composers to have their works recognized and performed, to provide an opportunity for qualified volunteer musicians of all ages to perform challenging symphonic music and to enhance and enrich the artistic and cultural life of our community.”
Our Orchestra has grown to over 80 musicians, who contribute their time and talents to make the Tampa Bay Symphony the Bay area’s finest Community Orchestra. Come and experience the excitement of live classical music!
