This ambitious, contemporary programming has drawn an all volunteer roster of 80+ polished musicians with an average tenure of 21 years.
The orchestra has performed throughout the Bay Area, including Davies Symphony Hall, Flint Center, Cañada College Main Theater, the San Mateo Performing Arts Center, and the Fox Theater in Redwood City. Redwood Symphony has recorded seven CDs, including the newest CDs featuring Brahms’s First Symphony and the world premiere of Mark Starr’s Johannes Brahms Rag for Banjo and Orchestra. Our CDs are available from Amazon.com and iTunes. Redwood Symphony proudly welcomes children for free with a purchased adult or senior ticket to most performances, a tradition it pioneered in the Bay Area.
