The Santa Barbara Symphony is a great investment:

  • For over 70 years, the Symphony has been here when our community needed us most—in times of community celebration and in times of tragedy.

  • Led by Board Chair, Janet Garufis, Music & Artistic Director, Nir Kabaretti, and President and CEO Kathryn R. Martin, the leadership team is building unprecedented fiscal strength, community partnerships, transparent communication and exciting momentum.

  • The Symphony is an economic driver and part of the fabric of our community; employing local instructors, coaches and musicians, generating business for local restaurants and businesses, and attracting cultural tourists and shining a spotlight on the extraordinary creative community choosing to call Santa Barbara home.

  • The Symphony’s award-winning music education programs are unique in our region. We are the only organization that provides students with arts enrichment and consistent, hands-on music education to students throughout the academic year, providing equitable access through scholarships and underwritten programs to more hands-on, high-quality music education than most other orchestras of similar size in comparable markets, and more than some in much larger communities.
