Our Mission:

The Southland Symphony Orchestra and Chorus uses the power of music to lift the human spirit. We engage, uplift, and educate the diverse communities of Southern California's Greater Ontario and Inland Empire area by coming together to perform and inspire through exceptional musical experiences.

Our Vision:

Reaching out through the transformative power of live music, the Southland Symphony Orchestra will be a civic leader, reflecting and uniting our region.

The Southland Symphony presented its first concert in Ontario on Sunday, December 11, 2011. The orchestra’s founder and director, Dr. Sylvia Lee Mann, who had recently relocated to the area, saw a need and an opportunity to bring symphonic music to the larger Ontario Community, a community which was already embracing arts and culture. Since that first concert, we have presented many, many full-orchestra concerts and concerts featuring orchestra and chorus for this community, as well as chamber music and educational concerts. We have presented internationally renowned musicians from all over the globe, performing music of the greatest composers in history, and music of great composers still living today.

" Our purpose is to enrich our community by engaging audiences and inspiring a love of music through exciting live symphony performances, innovative programming, and educational outreach." We offer opportunities for the community to experience the very best in music, “right in their own back-yards.” No long drives to downtown Los Angeles, no expensive parking. Arts and music for our community, in our community.

The Southland Symphony Orchestra is a true community orchestra, providing fantastic opportunities for qualified musicians to experience and perform live music at the highest level. We welcome musicians of all ages and from all walks of life: Students and senior citizens, professionals and amateurs: Hobbyist, professional, retired…. All are welcome. We are proud to welcome the many professional musicians who partner with us in our performances, and the many world-class guest artists who have graced our stage.
