The
Wellesley Symphony Orchestra
The
Wellesley Symphony Orchestra’s mission is to provide high quality orchestral performances,
generate opportunities for young and professional soloists, commission and
premiere works by regional composers, and to collaborate with schools and
community organizations.
A
Unique Approach to reaching young audiences: The Wellesley Symphony Orchestra offers free
admission to children under twelve at every concert so young people and their
families can experience classical music together. The delightful pre-concert
discussions and hands-on learning during the famous “Instrument Petting Zoo”
inspire and educate, and draw large audiences every year!
Under the talented direction of world-renowned Conductor Max Hobart, The Wellesley Symphony Orchestra hosts the Young Soloist Competition providing young musicians the opportunity to compete for a chance to perform as the headline concerto Soloist with the Orchestra.
