The only professional orchestra in Contra Costa County, California Symphony’s mission is to enhance lives by performing a range of classical music of the highest quality with special focus on works by American and minority composers, presenting talented young Californians in their first professional or early-career concert appearances, and providing educational outreach programs for adults and children in our community.

Our vision is to be a modern and relevant ensemble, making classical music meaningful to those we serve, bringing in new audiences along the way, and ultimately more fully representing the state of California.
