Join the Santa Rosa Symphony

For a season of music shaped by place, storytelling, and connection.

From the intimate vineyard performances of Symphony Uncorked to Road to Appalachia featuring Mark & Maggie O’Connor, Summer at the Symphony invites you to experience unforgettable music in welcoming and unexpected settings. At Symphony Uncorked, audiences will also have the opportunity to meet the Symphony’s three concertmaster candidates—Nigel Armstrong, Wyatt Underhill, and Ani Bukujian—each featured at one of the concerts throughout the series.
