Welcome

Symphony on the Bay is a community-based volunteer symphony orchestra serving Burlington, Hamilton and surrounding areas in southern Ontario. Our Conductor and Music Director Maestro James McKay leads the Orchestra in diverse and attractive concert programs with affordable ticket prices.

In this Season, our 40th, we will enjoy the glorious acoustics and luxurious surroundings of the new Burlington Performing Arts Centre for four of our five concerts! For the first time, we will feature prominent Burlington leaders as narrators, MP Mike Wallace in November and Mayor Rick Goldring in December.

The winners of our annual Young Artists' Competition perform as soloists with the orchestra. The revised deadline for applications for this year's competition is May 21, 2013.

Please enjoy the website, check out the photo gallery, listen to samples of upcoming music on the concert information pages, and let us know how you like it. And, if you have a passion for music, please consider making a donation to help us keep the music playing!
