Overwhelmed with Gratitude

As we reflect on the extraordinary launch of our 90th anniversary season, we are filled with gratitude. It has been nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to you—our loyal patrons, musicians, donors, and community. From the stirring performances to the standing ovations, your energy and enthusiasm made the opening of this milestone season one we’ll never forget.

Together, we’ve begun a journey that honors nine decades of music, culture, and connection. As we look ahead to the concerts and celebrations to come, we’re reminded of how special our Long Beach Symphony family truly is. We couldn’t have reached this monumental occasion without each and every one of you.

Thank you for being a part of our 90th anniversary celebration. Tickets are still available to any of our six upcoming concerts—or you may also still Save with a Subscription!

Here’s to many more unforgettable moments together!

We Thank our Vets

To all our Veterans: We thank you! On this special month of recognition, we want to remind our patrons of our partnership with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix), which helps make our concerts more accessible to veterans. Last season, Long Beach Symphony provided over $36,000 worth of tickets to our Family, Pops, and Classical series for veterans to enjoy. It's our way of "giving back to those who gave." Please share this information with others and help us share our appreciation to all veterans.
