Join us on an adventure!

The San Luis Obispo Symphony is dedicated to introducing and advancing chamber and symphonic music by providing musical programs for people of all ages across San Luis Obispo County.

Have you noticed the way children respond to music?  Even the most bashful child will make a loud “wah-wah” on the trombone at the Symphony’s Musical Petting Zoo, and our Apex for Kids Children’s Concerts are regularly sold-out far in advance to kids with an appetite for musical adventure.  Music brings us together, tells us stories, and teaches us how to listen. We hope that you'll join us on a journey of sound and harmony this year and into the future. 

For classroom teachers...

Symphony Music Education exists for you and your class; please feel free to take advantage of it!  For instance,

• The Symphony Music Van travels to 4th grade classrooms all over SLO County, demonstrates the families of instruments in the orchestra and then gives your students a chance to try them out

• The Cuarteto de las Misiones perform music that was originally played in the California Missions and presents a program that will enrich any 4th grade study on mission life in the 18th and early 19th centuries

• Everyday Etudes is an affordable and comprehensive program that addresses 85% of California State Standards for music education.  I

And for parents...

Does your child love to listen to music, or show an interest in making their own?  Want to know how to nurture that growing curiosity?  The Symphony makes it easy!  Drop in on a No Ties Allowed!
