Help us keep working towards our mission: Performing high-quality classical music that is accessible for all. Consider making a donation during 401Gives, until 6pm on April 1: https://www.401gives.org/organizations/narragansett-bay-symphony-community-orchestra

Each season, we’re working with new guest artists, playing works by a wide variety of composers, and finding new ways of reaching out to our community. We had over 250 people attend our most recent concert!

Plus, our tickets are on a “pay-what-you-think-is-fair” scale, meaning people usually give anywhere from $0-$50 to attend a concert, and everyone is equally welcome.

Finally, we work to create a positive community for our talented, all-volunteer orchestra members.

Whether you’re able to donate or join us at our next concert (June 7) thank you for your support!

We’ll be performing Aaron Copland’s “The Tender Land Suite”, an orchestral arrangement of an opera that tells the story of a farm family in the Midwest during the Great Depression.

Best known for works such as “Appalachian Spring” “Fanfare for the Common Man” and “Rodeo”, Copland’s distinctly American sound shines throughout this suite.

Join us on March 8 at 3pm to listen to that signature Copland sound, as it tells a tale of family, distrust, community, and romance in this gorgeous finale to our concert!
