The Bay Area Symphony is a community orchestra of consisting of approximately 60 players. Membership consists of a combination of teachers, aspiring musicians, and other professionals as well as selected students. All are dedicated volunteers who love classical music and the opportunity to contribute to the cultural programs in the area.

For over forty years the group has performed three or more concerts per year playing a rich variety of classical literature, symphonies, concerti, overtures, and accompanying major choral works by the world's great composers. Concerts in the last few years have included Tschaikovsky's 5th Symphony, Elgar's Enigma Variations, and the choral work Dona Nobis Pacem by Ralph Vaughn-Williams.

String players are always welcome. There are occasionally openings for woodwind, brass and percussion players. Teacher's in-service credit is offered.
