Founded in 1924 by the late educator, conductor and composer, Joseph Wagner, the Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston is the second oldest symphony orchestra in the city. It offers performances of unusual and contemporary works, with a special focus on American compositions, with leading soloists. The CSO performs four major concerts and two fund-raisers each year, which offer a range of classical and contemporary music.
A LETTER FROM CSOB DIRECTOR MAX HOBART:
"Newcomers to Civic concerts literally tell us that they were 'blown away' by the orchestra. They have learned what our long-time supporters already know:
the Civic is a gem! Come and see for yourself. Explore our concert offerings and return to this site for new information and special features. And join us for a full season of great musical adventures for all ages.
"I’m looking forward to seeing each and every one of you, plus a few of your friends, in our audience."
