Welcome

Symphony on the Bay is a community-based volunteer symphony orchestra serving Burlington, Hamilton and surrounding areas in southern Ontario. Our Conductor and Music Director James McKay masterfully leads the Orchestra in diverse and attractive concert programs and our tickets are affordably priced.

This Season, our 39th, is a great Celebration as we share the excitement of the new Burlington Performing Arts Centre for three of our five concerts! We open with Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the BPAC in November, in a new partnership with the Masterworks of Oakville Chorus.

The winners of our annual Young Artists' Competition will perform as soloists with full orchestra in the November and December concerts.

Please enjoy the website, check out the photo gallery, listen to samples of upcoming music on the concert information pages, and let us know how you like it. And, if you have a passion for music, please consider making a donation to help us keep the music playing!
