The Concerts of our 66th Season.
Growing Bigger And Better.
The musicians of the Cape Ann Symphony and I are extremely excited about the upcoming 2017-18 Season.

Our goal is to present to you concerts of the highest artistic standards that are guided by an enthusiasm for learning, a passion for the joy of music and love of good old fashioned fun and humor. Looking forward to seeing you at our concerts!”
