Sharing the Joy of Music

Our Mission is to Share the Joy of Music. Our 40th Anniversary Gala is dedicated to our mission. Not only will we celebrate 40 years of music in North Port, but we will also develop the North Port Symphony's Education and Community Outreach endeavors. 

The North Port Symphony's long-term goals include:

  1. Developing a financially accessible Strings Summer Camp for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students in North Port.

  2. Developing an after-school program for elementary-aged North Port students to learn string instruments.

  3. Producing performances within the North Port community at City Hall, Wellen Park, etc.
