Symphony

Founded in 2002, UCLA Symphony is UCLA’s campus-wide orchestra, drawing its membership from throughout the university community and performing a full spectrum of symphonic repertoire. It meets Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:45 PM, performs one concert per quarter, and is open to all UCLA undergraduates, graduate/professional school students, faculty, staff, and affiliates. Concerts are in Schoenberg Hall; Symphony is led by advanced MM and DMA conducting majors, supervised by the UCLA conducting faculty. UCLA Symphony may be taken for credit.
