Springfield Symphony Orchestra

Springfield Symphony Orchestra The SSO is the largest professional orchestra in Massachusetts outside of Boston.
(344)

Each season, we produce classical and pops performances, plus educational, cultural & outreach programs that benefit the communities in which we serve. The Springfield Symphony Orchestra performed its first concert in 1944, at its current home - Springfield Symphony Hall, which was originally built as the Municipal Auditorium. That performance received great reviews and was even recorded by the Of

fice of War Information for rebroadcast to our troops overseas. Today, the SSO is the largest professional symphony orchestra in Massachusetts, outside of Boston. It consists of over 80 musicians from the NE region of the United States and Canada, and holds many performances in a given season - as either the full orchestra or in ensemble formats. SSO concerts are typically recorded and re-broadcast over New England Public Radio (88.5FM), the area NPR station. The Springfield Symphony Orchestra is also the parent organization of two youth orchestras - the Springfield Youth Sinfonia (formally Young Person's Philharmonia) and the Springfield Youth Orchestra (formally Young Person's Symphony). Both of these ensembles offer young musicians a chance to play in a full orchestra, an option not offered in many schools.

Thank you to for bringing this level of artistry, passion, and energy to our Springfield community. His encore performance of "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke was a powerful reminder of the emotion and connection live music can create.

This is the kind of world-class talent the Springfield Symphony Orchestra is bringing to our stage, and we're only getting started.

Be part of it for the 26/27 season. Big things are coming, Springfield.. stay tuned!!
