There is something magical about hearing a live orchestra beneath the stars.

Symphony Under the Stars brings the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra out of the concert hall and into the heart of the Lowcountry for an unforgettable outdoor musical experience. These community concerts combine the energy and artistry of the HHSO with the relaxed atmosphere of an evening in the park.

Gather your family and friends, bring a lawn chair or blanket, and settle in for an evening filled with great music, fresh air and the unmistakable spirit of the Lowcountry.

A Lowcountry Tradition

Symphony Under the Stars concerts typically take place in beautiful outdoor gathering spaces on Hilton Head Island and in Bluffton, including venues such as Lowcountry Celebration Park at Coligny and Martin Family Park in Old Town Bluffton.

Each setting creates its own memorable backdrop for the orchestra. Instead of rows of theater seats, audiences can spread out on the lawn, visit with friends and enjoy the music beneath the open sky.

The result is a symphony experience that feels both extraordinary and wonderfully relaxed.
