SYMPHONY BY THE SEA
Donald Palma, Artistic Director and Conductor

Symphony by the Sea’s 35th season will again feature treasured orchestral classics as well as some special treats to enhance your listening experience. Our “classical” orchestra is different from the typical “symphony orchestra” in that it is configured in size more like the orchestras that date back to the time of the early symphonic masters, e.g. Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, allowing you to experience familiar classical compositions in the style that they were originally performed. You will find the experience different from what you hear in concert halls with considerably larger ensembles.

Our wonderful Music Director and Conductor, Donald Palma, has responded to your enthusiasm last season by arranging programs that once again will feature opera, less familiar classics and very familiar orchestral compositions. To enhance your listening, Maestro Palma will again offer brief commentary from the podium. We are also delighted to feature opera soloists through our collaboration with Met Auditions.
