The Saint Paul Civic Symphony, founded in 1945, provides free concerts throughout Saint Paul and the surrounding community. The orchestra is an autonomous, nonprofit organization made up of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds. It is funded by membership contributions, audience donations, grants, and fundraising activities.

The SPCS gratefully acknowledges the Native Peoples on whose ancestral homelands we gather, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today.


Welcome to Our 81st Season!

We look forward to seeing you. All of our concerts are free. We are here to share our love of the classical repertoire – both old and new – with all of you.
