Lexington Symphony
About
Lexington Symphony brings live orchestral music to town with a season of concerts that pairs well-known classics with less familiar works and visiting soloists. The orchestra was formed with exacting performance standards, bringing together professional musicians and talented amateurs. Seasons include a festive Holiday POPS! program with an audience sing-along and concerts built with community partners, such as a Lunar New Year program with the Chinese American Association of Lexington.
Artistic leadership comes from Jonathan McPhee, longtime music director of the Boston Ballet Orchestra and now Boston Ballet’s Conductor Emeritus. McPhee has conducted orchestras and dance companies on several continents and arranges and composes music performed worldwide. He gives pre-concert talks before performances, giving audiences background on the evening’s program. The orchestra has performed at Cary Hall, and it offers subscriptions for patrons who plan to attend four or more concerts in a season.
