Welcome to the

New Bedford

Symphony Orchestra

Welcome to the NBSO

The New Bedford Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to the proposition that classical music can enrich and transform lives. That is why we are very pleased to offer you exciting, moving, and beautiful music. It is also why we remain committed to expanding the educational programs we offer to children in our region—last year more than 8,000 children benefited from our music programs! And finally, it is why we continue to build strong relationships with other music and cultural organizations in our region. We believe collaboration makes all organizations, and our community, stronger.

We invite you to avoid the Boston traffic and head to New Bedford’s Zeiterion Performing Arts Center for a memorable music experience. With our enticing selection of classical and pops concerts, family concerts, and matinee offerings, there’s a concert for every music lover. Whether you are a first-time concertgoer or an NBSO regular, we welcome you to our community of music!

We hope you will join us one hour prior to the performance time of our classical concerts for Maestro Dinur’s pre-concert talk on the concert program (times are listed on the website concert pages). These talks take place in the theatre.

Concert programs are typically under two hours (including a 15-minute intermission), while family concerts are usually one hour long, with no intermission. We invite you to come early and get refreshments at the concession area which offers a full bar with soda, water, beer, wine, and top-shelf spirits (open before performances as well as during intermission). Drinks and snacks from the bar are allowed into the theater to enjoy during the concert.

If you are a returning concertgoer…

We hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed your previous NBSO concert experiences, and we know that you will be delighted with our upcoming performance schedule. We value your opinions, so please feel free to share them with us by calling the NBSO office at 508-999-6276 or emailing your comments to info@nbsymphony.org. We’d love to hear what you think about this season or seasons past, and any helpful advice you may have for us or new concertgoers!

The power of classical music is a wonderful thing. Thank you for being a part of it and for helping the NBSO be a vital force in our community.
