The Wellesley Symphony Orchestra’s mission is to provide high quality orchestral performances, generate opportunities for young and professional soloists, commission and premiere works by regional composers, and to collaborate with schools and community organizations.

A Unique Approach to reaching young audiences: The Wellesley Symphony Orchestra offers free admission to children under twelve at every concert so young people and their families can experience classical music together. The delightful pre-concert discussions and hands-on learning during the famous “Instrument Petting Zoo” inspire and educate, and draw large audiences every year!
