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 performances, 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.

Join us to celebrate the rich musical heritage of the Lutheran Reformation in a program inspired by the enduring connection between faith and music. Rooted in Martin Luther’s conviction that song belongs at the heart of worship, this tradition brought congregational hymns into dialogue with an extraordinary flowering of sacred composition.

Thank you, Salisbury, for a wonderful opening night at Masquerade. You came in feathers, lace, and sequins, and you filled the hall with energy from the first note to the last. To our musicians, volunteers, and supporters: thank you for making the start of our season one to remember.

We'll see you at the next concert.

Our 60th season begins with a puppet, a magician, and a carnival that goes wrong.

Stravinsky wrote Petrushka in 1911. On September 26 the Salisbury Symphony performs it with actors from Piedmont Players narrating the story live, so you'll hear it told as well as played. Afterward, stay for a masquerade reception with Catawba College's popular music students.

Masks are welcome. We'll have extras at the door for anyone who arrives without one.

Saturday, September 26. Tickets at salisburysymphony.org.
