SLO Symphony

Founded in 1954 (later incorporated in 1961), The San Luis Obispo Symphony ignites a passion for music in our Central Coast community, creating connection and joy. By investing in promising local youth with the drive and determination to study orchestral music, SLO Symphony is building the next generation of musicians and music patrons.

Through accessible performances and outreach opportunities, SLO Symphony enriches the region with cultural vitality and improved quality of life. MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE Music education is about more than just learning to play an instrument. Music helps us better connect to our world, express ourselves creatively, and communicate our emotions. Our Music Education programs are dedicated to making music more accessible and comprehensive for children throughout the Central Coast. With programs for music students of every level, the San Luis Obispo Symphony makes a lasting impact for thousands of children each year.
