Together, they'll take you on a journey through history, hope, and the future. All in one extraordinary night.

We find ourselves in a bit of a good-news, bad-news situation. This Sunday's performance of Peter and the Wolf is now sold out. We are thrilled to welcome 500 little ones and their families to the University of Puget Sound School of Music Schneebeck Hall this weekend, and sad that we are not able to have more of you.

Make sure you keep an eye on our calendar as next season's Mini Maestros dates are announced. Keep this in mind and make sure you get your tickets early!

Twelve years. Hundreds of concerts. One extraordinary chapter coming to a close.

What you're hearing in this video is the finale of Elgar's "Enigma Variations," triumphant, sweeping, and full of everything that makes live orchestral music so powerful. It's a pretty good preview of what May 9th will feel like.

Sarah Ioannides takes the Symphony Tacoma podium one last time as Symphony Tacoma's Music Director, Saturday, May 9th at 7:30 pm. If her 12 years here have ever moved you, this is the night to show up.
