Bringing World-Class Music to the Lowcountry
The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1982 when a group of local residents wanted to get together and play classical music. Today, the symphony is comprised of 70 musicians under contract and world-renowned soloists appearing at many concerts.
There is a continuing emphasis on nationally known young artists as soloists for the yearly concerts, educating local children to music, musical instruments, and offering reduced tickets for concerts to youngsters accompanied by an adult.
