Our Vision _
We believe that symphonic music should be available
and accessible to everyone, as we provide an opportunity for local professional musicians to
perform in an orchestra in their own community.
The Monterey Bay Symphony promotes the enjoyment and understanding of
orchestral music in Monterey County through free concerts at beautiful
outdoor venues. We encourage community involvement, our concerts offer
classical and popular music to our community members, and our
volunteers bring valuable musical experiences to local teens.
As one of the few arts organizations in the Monterey Bay area to
provide free public concerts on a large scale, the Monterey Bay Symphony
contributes to the awareness of community talent and diversity by inviting local artists to perform with the symphony.
Through a variety of ensembles, the Monterey Bay Symphony acts as a catalyst in
fostering collaborative efforts in which music appreciation, cultural
awareness, and unity are nurtured. In so doing, we help to bring
Monterey County communities together.
The Difference_
Although
several organizations present concerts in Monterey
County, the Monterey Bay Symphony is the only local symphony providing
accessible orchestral concerts to the public at no charge on an ongoing
basis. We also provide much-needed musical support to other
organizations through various ensembles derived from the symphony
musicians. We are dedicated to mentoring local teens in their
musical aspirations. These efforts help young people avoid
destructive behaviors and
learn valuable life skills through positive interaction with adult
professionals.
