Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra

Enriching our community and bringing us together since 1932

For over 93 years, the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra has been bringing world-class talent and providing new experiences and beautiful expressions of some of the world's greatest musical creations.

We don't just dream of a rich, beautiful culture— we cultivate it and celebrate it with our community.  

Musician Highlight: Eliza Kinney, Co-Principal Timpani

Why do you believe in the importance of music education?

“The experience of studying and playing music touches on a level of being human that transcends the negative forces in our world and our culture that threaten our wellbeing. Learning music requires skills that translate to any other profession and are highly marketable, such as discipline, persistence, resilience, and collaboration.”

Support our Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra

Share the beauty of music with your community.

Music expands our imaginations, fills us with hope and enriches our lives.

Experience it all with Bakersfield Symphony.
