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.

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.  We try to play better as time goes on.  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.
