Suncoast Symphony Orchestra Inc

In The Beginning
The history of the Suncoast Symphony Orchestra really begins with the Clearwater Symphony Orchestra. The Clearwater Symphony was founded in 1984 by a small group of musicians and educators wishing to provide an outlet for the performance of symphonic music in the community. The first program was presented in 1985 at the Royalty Theatre in downtown Clearwater. Since then the orchestra has performed in many locations in the Dunedin-Largo-Clearwater-Palm Harbor-Oldsmar area.

Name Change
Near the end of the 1993-94 season, the orchestra changed its name to the Suncoast Symphony Orchestra to better reach the Greater Tampa Bay Community. The orchestra presents a series of three programs during the season with each series performed at a number of locations in the area. The orchestra is a member of the Pinellas Arts Foundation.

The Suncoast Symphony Orchestra musicians are all volunteers and we meet to practice every week to prepare our concerts. The Suncoast Symphony Orchestra, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization. The orchestra is supported by private and public donations. 

As a non-profit organization we only ask for your help in order to allow us to continue entertaining audiences in our community. Your contribution helps pay for the music we play ... allowing us to continue entertaining people at community centers and recital halls throughout the Tampa Bay area. 

Please help us keep the music flowing!
