Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra

Cape Symphony is one of the largest professional orchestras in Massachusetts, located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

History

The Cape Symphony started as a community orchestra more than half a century ago in 1962. Since then, it has become one of the largest orchestral organizations in Massachusetts. Artistic Director and Conductor Jung-Ho Pak leads a polished and professional ensemble of 75 musicians, joined by emerging and world-class soloists to bring innovative and accessible programming to the community.

Featured guest artists have included pianists Jon Nakamatsu, Freddy Kempf and Ignat Solzhenitsyn, along with violinists Joshua Bell, Jennifer Frautschi, Miriam Fried, Ayako Yoshida and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg. Jazz great John Pizzarelli, trumpeter Byron Stripling and Nashville's Annie Moses Band have energized Cape Symphony Pops concerts.

The season includes ten Masterpiece and twelve CapePOPS performances, plus a New Year’s Day Party concert, all held in the 1400-seat Barnstable Performing Arts Center in Hyannis, MA. During the summer, the orchestra performs to thousands of residents and vacationers at outdoor events.
