Welcome to The Williamsburg Symphonia's website. We hope you enjoy your visit and will include our concerts and special events in your entertainment planning. Under the leadership of Janna Hymes, music director and conductor, our forty-member professional chamber orchestra takes pride in bringing the excitement and pleasure of classical music to Williamsburg-area audiences. Celebrate with us twenty-five years of beautiful music and innovative programming. In addition to the Grand Illumination Holiday Pops performances in December, there are three more masterworks concerts scheduled in 2009 as well as other delightful musical and social occasions. Call 229-9857 for tickets and join us for remainder of this 2008-2009 season of celebration!
An important facet of the Symphonia's community involvement is its collaboration with other arts organizations. We will continue to feature on the cover of each concert program and on our website's Home page a distinctive work by a talented artist from our area. The water-media artwork shown below graced the cover of the November concert program. There are many musical AND visual treats for you during this special anniversary season!
There's no better way for the Symphonia to acknowledge its twenty-five-year commitment to fine musical performances than by featuring four outstanding soloists from all corners of the world! You will be thrilled by their artistry as they skillfully and sensitively present challenging works - old favorites and new adventures in music.
