Your Civic Symphony is still here even though we are no longer rehearsing as a group and performing. However, we still want to share the joy of music with you.

Join us online to listen and learn and enjoy a perspective on classical music hosted by our esteemed Artistic Director Maestro Rolf Bertsch.  If you have a burning musical question that you want to share with Maestro Rolf and others please click the “My Musical Question” link and submit it.
