Symphony at the Summit

One hundred percent of the proceeds from this event will go directly to support the exceptional programming provided by the Saint Paul Civic Symphony to the local community.

The Saint Paul Civic Symphony, established in 1945, has four fundamental objectives:

1. To provide the greater Saint Paul community with free concerts featuring a wide range of symphonic literature.
2. To provide an opportunity for musicians to perform in a high-quality symphony.
3. To provide children with imaginative, interactive performances with the goal of instilling in them a love of music.
4. To deepen ties with our sister orchestra, the Nagasaki Symphony, and to nurture cultural exchange between Saint Paul and Nagasaki, Japan.

The Saint Paul Civic Symphony has a commitment to provide audiences as well as orchestra members with concert programs that move beyond the standard classical repertoire. This is accomplished through collaboration with other performing arts organizations, commissioning of new works, solo performances by emerging young artists, and the regular inclusion of 20th century music in our programming.

The Saint Paul Civic Symphony is an autonomous, nonprofit organization made up of volunteers from many professional backgrounds. It is funded by membership contributions, audience donations, grants and fundraising activities.
