Marin Symphony Association

The Marin Symphony Association, located in San Rafael, California, is a cultural organization dedicated to bringing classical music to the residents of Marin County. Founded in 1952, the orchestra boasts a rich history, evolving from a small group of musicians seeking to share their passion for classical music. Today, the Marin Symphony comprises approximately 85 musicians, including both union and non-union members, drawing talent from various Bay Area performing arts organizations. The Marin Symphony offers a diverse range of musical experiences, presenting five pairs of classical concerts annually from October to May. These concerts take place at the Marin Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium, the orchestra's permanent home since 1971. Additionally, the organization hosts specialty concerts, such as Holiday Concerts by Candlelight, Family Concerts, and exclusive Prelude In-Home Concerts, enriching the community through diverse musical offerings. Beyond performances, the Marin Symphony Association actively supports youth music education. Since 1954, the organization has fostered musical growth through programs like the Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra, Crescendo, and Symphony@Schools, inspiring young musicians in Marin County.
