Did you know? CCS was named a national model for inclusive orchestras by the League of American Orchestras this year. 🏆

We've been part of the Inclusive Stages initiative since 2022 — and this season, we were highlighted in a published case study as a 'community of choice.'

Inclusion isn't an add-on for us. It's the foundation.

Our fiscal year closes June 30. Support the work. https://www.capitalcitysymphony.org/support

When the federal shutdown cancelled the annual Sousa tribute at Congressional Cemetery this past November, it was CCS musicians who stepped in.

They gathered at Sousa's gravesite. They played the marches. They kept the tradition alive.
The Washington Post covered it. HillRag covered it. But what it meant to the people there — that can't be measured.

This is what your support makes possible. A community that shows up — for music, for history, for each other.

A season of voice. A season of refuge.
That's what music has been for us this year — and for the audiences who filled these seats.
We're closing our fiscal year on June 30. If CCS has meant something to you, we'd love your support. Every gift keeps this music alive. 🎶

This season, something extraordinary happened — again and again.

Six orchestral programs. A brand-new Composers' League concert. A season finale with Beethoven's Ninth. A national award from the Atlas Performing Arts Center.
And behind every moment: 80+ volunteer musicians who showed up because they love this music and this city.

Help us close the year strong. Our fiscal year ends June 30, and your support ensures we can do it all again next season. 🎻

Music is a voice. Music is a refuge.

That's what Artistic Director Vicki Gau believes — and what this season proved, again and again.

Our musicians are teachers, parents, analysts, public servants. They don't play for a paycheck. They play because they need to. And through that choice, they create something that goes far beyond the stage: connection, meaning, and community.

If this resonates with you, we'd love to have you with us.

CCS Friday Encore Series 🎻
Every Friday at 3PM, we're bringing back a favorite moment from the stage. 🎬

Fanfare for Uncommon Times by Valerie Coleman
🎟 Persist! | October 5, 2025
🪄 Maestra Victoria Gau
📍 Atlas Performing Arts Center

Fanfare for Uncommon Times is anything but a typical fanfare — it opens with a searching solo trombone line before building into something bold, restless, and deeply human. Watch Capital City Symphony bring it to life on the Atlas stage. 🎶
