Music is a catalyst for a stronger, more connected community. That belief is at the heart of the Charlotte Symphony, and every day we provide exceptional musical experiences that inspire our community, plus programs that create new pathways of opportunity.
The Charlotte Symphony performs everywhere from community parks and schools to churches, breweries, and senior care centers. We are deeply committed to the notion that music, accessible to all and experienced in many forms, unifies our community.
Our mission is to nurture a passion for orchestral music in our community through diverse educational programming and excellent instruction.
