Supporting the Palisades Symphony

About the Symphony
The Palisades Symphony, a non-profit community orchestra, has been performing in Pacific Palisades for over half a century. It performs regular concerts during the year, including two in collaboration with the affiliated Palisades-Brentwood Chorale, and also mounts an opera in concert form every summer. In June, the orchestra hosts a concert for the winners of its annual Young Artist Award Competitions, for instrumental performers of school age. All of these concerts are free of charge.
The Symphony was founded by Joel B. Lish in 1966 and has performed continuously since then. The orchestra musicians and choir members donate their services, and the soloists, conductor, and choir director are paid an honorarium.
