Salisbury Symphony

Salisbury Symphony The Salisbury Symphony Orchestra has called this community home for 60 years. This is your symphony.

We perform in Salisbury and across the region — bringing orchestral music to the people who make this place what it is. The Salisbury Symphony is a professional symphony orchestra based in Salisbury, NC, consisting of 60 - 90 musicians, led for more than thirty years by Music Director David Hagy. We generally offer seven public performances each year, which includes five regular season performance

s, a Nutcracker Ballet and a free outdoor performance known as "Pops at the Post." We are proud of our more multi-decade history here in Salisbury, in partnership with Catawba College and Livingstone College since our original formation in 1966.

Meet the Artist! Caitlin Warbelow:

A dynamic and genre-crossing violinist, Caitlin Warbelow is best known to many audiences as the original onstage fiddler in the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical Come From Away. Her performances there and across North America have showcased not only her technical brilliance but also her ability to connect storytelling and music in a way that feels immediate and human.

Equally at home in classical, folk, and theatrical settings, Warbelow has built a career that bridges traditions. She has appeared as a soloist with orchestras across the country and is a sought-after collaborator for programs that blend symphonic sound with vernacular styles. Her playing draws deeply from Celtic and American fiddle traditions, bringing rhythmic vitality, improvisatory flair, and a sense of spontaneity that energizes both musicians and audiences.

For her performance with the Salisbury Symphony at Pops at the Post, Warbelow is featured across several highlights that reflect her unique artistry. She brings expressive lyricism to the traditional Irish air Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow, theatrical power to Me and the Sky from Come From Away (with guest vocalists), and infectious dance energy to An Irish Party in 3rd Class. After intermission, she returns in full force with the driving rhythms of Mark O’Connor’s Olympic Reel and the electrifying showpiece The Devil Went Down to Georgia, where her virtuosic playing is sure to steal the show.

Warbelow’s presence transforms this program from a traditional pops concert into a vibrant musical journey; a journey that celebrates the many voices of American music, from folk roots to Broadway and beyond.

Join us on June 6th to experience Caitlin's remarkable artistry!

There's a moment in Beethoven's Seventh Symphony where the music stops being sound and starts being motion — pure, unstoppable forward energy that fills every seat in the hall. Richard Wagner called this symphony "the apotheosis of the dance itself: dance in its most exalted form, the most blissful of physical movement made manifest in sound."

On May 16, the Salisbury Symphony brings the full force of a professional orchestra to Keppel Auditorium for one of the most thrilling symphonies ever written.

This is what a live orchestra was made for. Be in the room when it happens.

7 PM. Keppel Auditorium, May 16.

Some music outlasts the century that made it.
Some music shows up at the exact moment history needs it.
It has stood at the edge of every great human movement.
Next May, it helps us mark sixty years of our own.

Some nights, the music moves you.
Some nights, it moves your feet.

You already know this feeling.

It’s the hush before the downbeat, the one the calendar keeps saving a space for — the night the whole room starts to sing again.

Save the seat by the door.
The chorus isn’t complete without you.

Some music does not age.

It waits — patient, vast — for voices to meet it again.

Amongst many, four will rise this fall. You will know them when you hear them.

Step behind the curtain.
Six evenings are stirring — and the first will not receive you as yourself.
Wear a mask. The puppet strings are waiting.
