For over 78 seasons, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra has been a bridge between the world’s top performers and the heart of the Hub City. Whether it’s up-and-coming talent or seasoned professionals, we take pride in showcasing the rich musical culture of our region to the world. Now, it’s time to turn up the volume and make it clear that Lubbock is a destination not to be missed.

The meaning of CRESCENDO is a gradual increase. In 1963, the Lubbock Symphony introduced the legendary pianist Van Cliburn, who performed with our local orchestra. Similarly in 1993, the Lubbock Symphony garnered attention by hosting a series of concerts featuring pop singer Tony Bennett. Since then, the orchestra has had the privilege of hosting notable performers such as Yo-Yo Ma, Joshua Bell, Wynton Marsalis, Susan Graham, Renée Fleming, Boyz II Men, and Kristin Chenoweth. The Symphony has also paid tribute to renowned artists like Queen, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Wicked The Musical, and Aretha Franklin. These performances hold a special place in the hearts of many members of our community, as they are cherished memories. This is why we strive to keep creating unforgettable experiences that can be treasured by future generations.

Did you know that only one-third of our annual budget comes from ticket sales?

The remaining funds mainly come from music supporters in the community, like yourself. Our Crescendo campaign aims to further AMPLIFY your support of our evolving mission to bring the most prominent names in music to the Hub City.

You can add your name today to the expanding list of benefactors, who are leaving their mark on the Hub City and building a legacy of performances for generations to come.

Please join us with your gift to Crescendo today!
