Thank you for being a part of the Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville family!
For ten seasons, Civic Orchestra has brought musicians, audiences, and our community together through the shared experience of live music.
What began as a vision to create accessible, high-quality orchestral performances has grown into a vibrant organization supported by dedicated musicians, volunteers, sponsors, donors, audience members, and community partners. From concerts and educational programs to outreach events and special collaborations, every performance is made possible by people who believe in the power of music to connect, inspire, and enrich lives.
We are grateful for everyone who has been part of our journey over the past decade. Whether you attend concerts, support our mission, volunteer your time, or perform on stage, you help make Civic Orchestra a welcoming home for music in our community.
As we celebrate ten wonderful seasons, we look ahead with excitement to the music still to come.
We are also pleased to announce our 2026–2027 concert season, The American Journey. This season will highlight American composers and the artists whose music helped shape what we think of as the American sound, exploring the rich musical traditions, innovation, and cultural influences that define our nation’s orchestral heritage.

October 16 & 17, 2026
December 6, 2026
March 2027 (TBD)
May 1 & 2, 2027
We invite you to join us for a concert, become involved, and be part of the next chapter of our story.
Thank you for being part of the Civic Orchestra family.
