Featuring Southern California’s finest orchestra musicians, Long Beach Symphony marks its 87th season and second full season of its Music Director, Eckart Preu (Eck-art Proy).

The Symphony presents more than 100 concerts and events a year and a rich array of education and community engagement programs that reach more than 300,000 residents from school children to senior citizens. Core to its offerings is a six-concert Classical series performed at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center – Terrace Theater as well as a five-concert POPS! series in the Long Beach Arena’s Pacific Ballroom. Another highlight is our youth concert field trips, which offer 12,000 LBUSD 4th and 5th graders a chance to experience a full symphonic concert each year. Last year, the Symphony added a new Family Concert Sunday Matinee, which is free to all children and includes an outdoor musical festival.

Committed to supporting arts and culture in the region, Long Beach Symphony regularly produces artistic collaborations with local organizations such as Musical Theater West, Long Beach Camerata Singers, California State University Long Beach, Jazz Angels, Museum of Latin and American Art, Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Museum of Art, Queen Mary, Live After Five, Willmore City Heritage Association, and Homeland Cultural Center. Long Beach Symphony was awarded the Long Beach Heritage Preservation Award in 2012, the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce Award for Outstanding Nonprofit Organization in 2015 and in 2017 honored by the NAACP.
