Rain City Symphony is a non-audition community orchestra that provides amateur musicians with an orchestral experience in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

Open to intermediate and advanced strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion.  Rain City Symphony plays standard orchestral repertoire.  Our season runs mid-September through May.

Who We Are

We started as the Nathan Hale Night School Community Orchestra.  Many of us have been with the orchestra for a number of years.  Why did we sign up for this class and why have we stayed?  We wanted to learn more about music and have a non-threatening experience playing music. 

Our orchestra evolves as any community does.  It is forever changing and yet, constantly growing and striving for greater expectations.  We encourage people who have not played an instrument for a while and want the joy of playing in an orchestra setting again.  As a community orchestra, we give back to the community by performing free concerts several times a year at various locations, such as retirement and community centers.  We also showcase young artists.
