Concert Season 2026/2027
There is nothing quite like the magic of live music! We are thrilled to welcome you to a brand-new Cambridge Symphony Orchestra season under the visionary leadership of Music Director, Sabatino Vacca. From masterwork symphonies to blockbuster film scores, pop hits, classic operas and family favourites—this season is built for Cambridge and the incredible people who make this city shine. Whether it is your very first time at the symphony or your twentieth, we look forward to seeing you. Let’s share these unforgettable moments together.
What do trolls, zombies, pirates and a Jurassic Park dinosaur have in common? They're all showing up at the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra's Halloween concert, and we'd love you to join them. This is a one-hour, interactive concert made for the whole family. Come in costume, bring your friends, neighbours and kids, and make it a night out for your community.
What to expect:
- Music from Phantom of the Opera, Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean
- Spooky classics, including Holst's Mars, Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre with violinist Joy Schuster, Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King and Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain
- Rosin Eating Zombies from Outer Space and The Addams Family theme, performed by the Cambridge Youth Orchestra
- A costume parade for the youngsters and young at heart.
-Student volunteers get the chance to conduct the orchestra
For many students, this will be their first live orchestra concert. We want it to be fun and memorable, and it is much better with a full house.
Two chances to join the fun:
Saturday, October 31 — Cambridge 3 - 4pm

So gather your family, invite a friend, dust off those costumes and join us for a celebration full of music, laughter and Halloween spirit.

20th Annivesary Yearbook
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who has been a part of our musical community over the past twenty years! Whether a a musician, member of the audience, volunteer, or community promoter, our ability to continue sharing music is a tribute to this community!
Enjoy the memories and photos shared in this yearbook, along with a breakdown of our revenue and expenses, as well donor and sponsor recognition and Board governance related information.
It is well known that orchestras around the world rely on donations and grants in order to be able to offer outstanding programming as tickets alone don’t cover the costs. We thank the City of Cambridge, all grant providers, concert sponsors and donors for making beautiful orchestral music possible in our community, right at home.
