The 2018-2019 season of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra presents a kaleidoscope of musical styles, textures and emotions that bring ravishing beauty to the musical terrain of our region.

The majesty of Russian masterworks, stirring operatic showpieces, sparkling gems of Haydn and Mozart, and beloved classic works of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Ravel and Schubert, highlight a season of exceptional music-making that has become a hallmark of our orchestra. Our new performance venue allows us to share musical pleasures in new and creative ways.
