New Bedford Symphony Orchestra

ABOUT THE NEW BEDFORD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Founded in 1915, the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra is a fully professional ensemble that is led by Dr. David MacKenzie, whose 30-year career spans the worlds of symphonic music, opera and musical theater.

In addition to its five-concert subscription series and two Pops concerts in the summer, the NBSO is also a leader in community arts education. The NBSO’s Music in the Mornings program reaches 11,000 elementary school students, in 32 schools every day. The Orchestra’s Young People’s concerts brings nearly 7,000 students to the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center every March for free performances, and the Orchestra’s master class series has given many aspiring young musicians the chance to study with the NBSO’s distinguished guest soloists.

The NBSO performs at the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center located at 684 Purchase Street. The New Bedford Symphony Orchestra is a Resident Company of the Zeiterion. Parking is available adjacent to the Arts Center in the Zeiterion Garage for $2. For more information about the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra visit http://www.nbsymphony.org or call 508-999-6276.
