2018-19 Concert Season 

Our exciting programs will feature works by living composers, selections diverse in style - as well as familiar cornerstones of the concert repertoire.  We feature outstanding solo artists with very close ties to Rhode Island – one of NaBSCO’s central, long-standing commitments. Last season brought lively repertoire, dynamic soloists, and full audiences. Our momentum continues in this, our fifth season, as we offer beloved masterpieces by Rachmaninoff, Mahler, Elgar, and Mozart - alongside vibrant newer works by Lancen and Bell. Discover the magic of the Narragansett Bay Symphony!

What our audience and members have
to say about us

I consider this the best bang for the buck in Rhode Island, not only because it is so reasonably priced but because it offers us a chance to divert from the instant and constant pressures that living these days seems to necessitate. Here, I find I am in good company, in the presence of exquisite music and extraordinary musicians. One couldn't ask for more!

"Finding a chance to hear high quality music is wonderful. I live on Aquidneck Island and there isn't much chamber music except for the summer. I also like that you alternate symphony and chamber programs. Both the Carter Center venue and PC are excellent. I do like that the program is posted on Facebook well in advance so one can listen to the pieces beforehand."

I have been to many of their concerts, both as RIPCO and NaBSCO, over the years. The enthusiasm and abilities of the orchestra, guest performers, conductors and program selections over the years have provided a welcome addition to the classical musical offerings in RI. Thank you all so much!
