From our Music Director

Dear Music Lovers,

80 years of existence is a milestone achieved by few orchestras. In its 80th year, the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra is not only one of the oldest, but is also one of the most prestigious in the United States.

Generations after its inception in 1929, your San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra continues to bring joy and inspiration to music lovers of all ages with world-class performances of some of the world’s most beautiful orchestral compositions.

I am proud to lead this unique ensemble of brilliant and talented musicians who, along with their predecessors, have occupied a central place in the cultural life of the Inland Empire for 80 consecutive years.

The Symphony’s 80th season, featuring some of the greatest master-pieces in symphonic literature as well as an array of internationally acclaimed guest soloists, promises to be the Orchestra’s most inspiring season yet.

Join me and the talented musicians of the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra as we undertake this historic 80th season at the California Theater of the Performing Arts in downtown San Bernardino.

Carlo Ponti, Jr.
Music Director & Conductor
