Music making deeply connects us with one another, as musicians and audiences—it expresses some of the most profound human feelings, and opens hearts to the beauty around us.”

Welcome to the Hilton Head Symphony’s 45th Anniversary Season.

For 45 years, HHSO has brought our community together through the power of music. Today, we’re proud to offer extraordinary experiences that extend far beyond the concert hall—from our Orchestra Series and SoundWaves performances to Jazz in the Park, BravoPiano!, youth education, and cultural programs that celebrate the spirit of the Lowcountry.

Testimonials

 “I have to say that the Ellis Island performance was beautiful and brilliant.  It was so moving – and especially for my husband and me – His grandfather worked on Ellis Island and his father was  born there.   The visuals were fantastic as were the actors, and of course the Orchestra.   We are  blessed that we were able to enjoy this wonderful evening.”
– Christye Peterson

“Whether a resident or tourist, you shouldn’t miss a wonderful experience at the Hilton Head Symphony.  Your evening will be filled with beautiful music, top-notch musicians, and a conductor who is warm and welcoming.  You will be pleasantly surprised how a small town environment can produce such a tremendous musical experience.”  
– Linda Del Core – Hampton Lakes

“As long-time subscribers, we have grown to love the HHSO and every new season has given us the pleasure of wonderful discoveries. What strikes us more and more is the intense joy with which the musicians themselves share their music with us. Truly a gift.”
– Mieke Smit – Tide Pointe

“It’s not often that one has the privilege of hearing Beethoven’s 9^th Symphony live in concert and to hear it not once, but twice in my lifetime, right here on this island, was as close to musical heaven as I could get. What a spectacular end to the season and how happy I was to be there. Thank you to you and all your team for your hard work and dedication, thank you to the Maestro and the whole orchestra for another wonderful season and making all our lives so much richer. Not forgetting the chorus, the visiting choir and soloists who gave a truly monumental performance. I never underestimate how fortunate we are to have this wonderful orchestra on our tiny island to give us such happiness.”
