Lexington Symphony:

Announcing the 2010-2011 Season

Join us at Cary Hall for a blockbuster season featuring the Mahler "Symphony of a Thousand" in collaboration with the Nashua Symphony & Chorus, Boston Children's Chorus, and the New World Chorale, and the premiere of a work by Pulitzer-prize winning composer Yehudi Wyner featuring soprano Dominique Labelle. All concerts conducted by Music Director Jonathan McPhee.

Season tickets are available through September 24. Four or six concert subscriptions are available; the latter include our evening Holiday Pops and a new "Summer's Eve Concert" in June where you can meet and mingle with our Symphony musicians and enjoy an informal concert of Mozart and more.

Notable Comments

"...This orchestra is, in 2 words, ’top notch’; its playing is tight, crisp, and precise; ...Everyone’s enthusiasm for the music making is palpable, as is the audience’s attention and appreciation. This is classical music as it once was known in similar cities and towns across the nation, but which has, alas, disappeared from all too many of them. In Lexington, it is growing instead: the highest priced seating sections are sold out for the entire season. ." Review of Sep 12, 2009 concert from the Classical Voice of New England

"...a suburban orchestra like the Lexington Symphony is capable of a performance to attract the attention of those who live closer to Symphony Hall. Even if the BSO season were in full swing, last Saturday’s program would have been worth the trip." Review of Sept 13, 2008 concert in the Boston Phoenix
