Great Music Close To Home - The San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra
For nearly 40 years the San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra has presented the finest performances of symphonic music to the communities of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley. It is the region's leading symphony orchestra and one of its premiere performing arts organizations. Led by founding Music Director and Conductor James Domine, the orchestra is a showcase for some of the finest musicians and composers in Southern California. Beginning with the 2023 season's opening concert in January, the orchestra will be performing its yearly five-concert season in its new home, the El Portal Theatre on Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood.
The SFVSO's dedicated members frequently collaborate with community service organizations and local businesses to produce community outreach programs designed for diverse audiences of all ages. The San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra maintains a strong season ticket subscription base and its concerts are frequently sold out.
It is a recipient of grants from the County of Los Angeles Department of Arts and Culture, the City of Los Angeles, the Rotary Club, and various other corporate foundations; it also receives support from individual subscribers and concert patrons.
The San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra is a member of the League of American Orchestras and the Association of California Symphony Orchestras, and will return on January 28 , 2023 with the second concert of a full five-concert season.
