The Auburn Symphony is a nonprofit symphony dedicated to enriching and engaging the community across all generations through the gift of music. Founded in 1988, we present a diverse concert season ranging from classical masterworks to family and holiday programs, while also emphasizing education and outreach in schools and the community.
Our Symphony is known for combining artistic quality with strong local engagement. Through performances in local venues and public spaces, we bring live orchestral music to a wide audience throughout the region, fostering a lasting appreciation for the arts. Our commitment to accessibility and community connection makes it a beloved cultural resource in the region.
Now more than ever, the performing arts are critical to preserving the human experience as we continue to give the gift of music to those who come to listen. We invite you to support our mission through this year's Big Day Of Giving campaign, and help us reach more audiences, develop more community programs, and explore new partnerships to continue achieving more than ever through the performing arts.
To celebrate the giving season and the end of our performance year, please join us in our dazzling Season Finale at the Mondavi Center on May 10, 2026.
