We open our season with the power and majesty of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, arguably Bruckner’s most beloved composition. It is a shining example of his incredible gift for drama, pacing, colour, and scope. There is no better way to kick off a new concert season!

Soar through the sparkling heights of achievement of four masterful composers at their peak: Rossini, Dvorak, Mozart, and Schubert.

Something’s Fishy and it’s Al Swimmins…make that Al Simmons: a tour-de-force of ingenious and charming silliness. Back by popular demand, musician, eccentric inventor, and all-around nutty guy, Al Simmons, is once again bringing a big dose of daffy to the Kingston Symphony stage.

Join us for an electrifying evening that pulls back the curtain on CBC’s hit series Murdoch Mysteries, live in concert with the Kingston Symphony. This exclusive event, blending television drama and live orchestral performance, explores how music for the series is brought to life by award-winning composer Robert Carli.

Handel’s Messiah is one of the most beloved pieces in all of music history, performed year after year to audiences the world over. This December, the Kingston Symphony takes on Handel’s magnum opus alongside the Isabel Voices.
