The 2025-26 Season is one we won’t soon forget.

This past season brought audiences together through unforgettable performances. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to share that work with you in such meaningful ways; in the concert hall, in schools, through community celebrations, and at special events throughout South Bend and beyond.

To every person who attended a concert, supported the South Bend Symphony Orchestra, brought a child to their first performance, volunteered, donated, or simply shared in these musical moments with us: thank you. Your presence and support make this music possible, and it is truly our privilege to continue creating and sharing these experiences with our community.

Here is a quick look-back at the 2025-26 Season. We can’t wait to see you for the 2026-27 Season and Music Director Alastair Willis’ 10th season with the South Bend Symphony!

What an incredible way to close our 2025–26 Season!

Thank you to everyone who joined the South Bend Symphony Orchestra for "Celebrating the Music of John Williams" at the Morris Performing Arts Center. From Superman and Jurassic Park to Schindler’s List and an unforgettable journey through Star Wars, it was a night filled with adventure, nostalgia, and iconic music.

Thank you for laughing, cheering, and playing along during “How Well Do You Know Your Star Wars Movies?” and for sharing this special evening with us!

We are so grateful to our musicians, staff, patrons, and community for an amazing season, and we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Thank you to Indiana Trust Wealth Management for their continued generosity as title sponsor of the Indiana Trust Pops Series, thank you to our presenting sponsor General Stamping & Metalworks, and our concert sponsor Foegley Landscape, Inc.
