Welcome to

Season 47

Join the Galveston Symphony Orchestra for our 47th Season, Harmonies of the World, a vibrant journey through the universal language of music.
This season continues with timeless masterworks including Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni, Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto performed by 19 year old violinist Hannah Tam, and Beethoven’s Symphony. We also celebrate the 40th anniversary of FotoFest with a striking collaboration featuring Philip Glass’s The Photographer, inspired by the motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge, alongside John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Prokofiev’s powerful Symphony. The season concludes with Her Voice, Her Story, a Juneteenth celebration honoring the legacy of Black women composers and performers including Undine Smith Moore, Florence Price, Ella Fitzgerald, and Diana Ross, recognizing their artistry and enduring influence across generations.
