A Season of Symphonies


Symphony orchestras are a vital part of their communities. They offer opportunities for talented musicians in their area to come together and perform classical music, an art form with roots deeply embedded in the past and constantly growing branches into the future. What does the future hold for the Skagit Valley symphony? Watch this video for a hint then check out their concert season for yourself.




Music Director, Conductor and composer Roupen Shakarian has a season planned with everything from a toast to the world of opera, to a concert that exemplifies the symphony's mission of reaching out to the next generation of classical music lovers, the family concert, "Let's Play an Instrument."


The Skagit Symphony's March concert features two distinguished soloists from the New York Philharmonic, oboist Joe Robinson and violinist Mary Kay Robinson.









Get your tickets and enjoy the wonderful season of music ahead!
