Santa Cruz Symphony

Santa Cruz Symphony Not only does he have a clear idea in mind but he communicates it equally well." - Performing Arts Monterey Bay

Hear what critics are saying about the Santa Cruz Symphony...

"Arguably, the Santa Cruz County Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Stewart has now developed into the finest musical ensemble South of San Francisco and North of Los Angeles." - Joe Sekon

"I have not heard such beautiful playing from these low strings, such precision of entries from the woodwinds and such warmth from the brass, especial

ly the high notes of the horns in the last movement." - Heather Morris

"One standout of Stewart’s conducting style is the sharp contrast of articulation between rhythmically charged passages and adjacent lyrical ones.

πŸ‡ Last Saturday we came together in a beautiful setting for our Annual Donor Appreciation picnic. πŸ₯‚ We celebrated another extraordinary season and honored the Symphony's most dedicated supporters.

πŸ’Έ Among these supporters was Santa Cruz Symphony League, our largest donor. 😍 Every year, this group of tireless classical music advocates present a check to Santa Cruz Symphony for a season of fundraising. This year's check was for $128,000! ✨ In a time of tight budgets for arts organizations everywhere, this gift was a welcome surprise.

❀️ On behalf of the entire Symphony family, thank you to everyone who joined us. Your generosity is the heartbeat behind every note played on our stage!

🌹 On July 11, the Symphony League invites you to a Wine & Roses Garden Concert!

🏡️ Step into an afternoon of beauty, wine, and jazz featuring Paul Contos, one of the Central Coast's most respected jazz musicians and educators. 🎷 A founder of Kuumbwa Jazz Center, longtime leader with the Monterey Jazz Festival education program, and recipient of DOWNBEAT magazine's Jazz Education Achievement Award, Paul has spent decades shaping the region's jazz community.

🌳 The setting is equally special. Following a devastating fire, this remarkable Aptos estate was thoughtfully rebuilt and reimagined, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

πŸ₯‚ Join us for live music, curated wines, seasonal bites, and the opportunity to experience a truly unique property rarely open to the public. All proceeds benefit Santa Cruz Symphony League!
