A Program of ProMusica Foundation
The Bay Area Symphony Orchestra is the first fully professional symphony orchestra dedicated to the Houston Bay Area, serving Friendswood, Clear Lake, League City, Pearland, Baytown, Galveston, and the communities surrounding NASA's Johnson Space Center.
We are building more than an orchestra. We are creating a cultural anchor for a region of over 700,000 residents that has long demonstrated a deep passion for orchestral music, yet has never had a resident professional ensemble to call its own. World-class symphonic music is now home in the Bay Area, right here, in the heart of the community.
Our work is powered by partnerships. From schools and local arts organizations to chambers of commerce, economic development corporations, and civic institutions, we weave ourselves into the social fabric of a community that is growing fast and dreaming bigger. We create meaningful employment opportunities for professional musicians, attracting exceptional talent to the region while celebrating and investing in the remarkable artists who already call the Houston Bay Area home.
Operated under ProMusica Foundation, a nonprofit organization with decades of international experience bringing music to hospitals, schools, retirement homes, and underserved communities worldwide, the Bay Area Symphony carries forward a proven mission: that exceptional music belongs to everyone, everywhere.
