Together we are NSS!
From the orchestral scores to the amazing guest artists we bring each year, to our talented and dedicated musicians, we rely on gifts to the Annual Fund to make the whole North State Symphony experience possible. With your investment we are able to provide four Masterworks concerts, the Explore Music! educational program, Pops concerts, and more.
As the Annie B's Community Drive is no longer a program with the North Valley Community Foundation, the North State Symphony is holding its own fall fund drive, I hope you consider making a donation to the North State Symphony Annual Fund during this beautiful time of year. Whether this is your first gift or you've been giving for many years, your contribution makes a significant impact and helps ensure classical music endures for future generations.
Just click the image below to make a gift online! I hope you'll consider increasing your gift, or making a sustaining pledge to give through the year to the Symphony.
As we continue with the 2017-2018 season, I invite you to become more engaged with me and the music to help us develop new audiences. Bring a friend to the next concert and let me know about it - I'd like to say thank you in person.
Thank you for joining me in bringing enriching symphonic music to all - together we are the North State Symphony!
Warm Regards,
Scott Seaton
Conductor and Music Director

Summer Office “Relocation”
It's summertime, which means it's summer music festival time! Max and Elizabeth will be working in Santa Cruz at the Cabrillo Festival for Contemporary Music, which is a wonderful two week festival of contemporary music for symphony orchestra, featuring an outstanding orchestra, world premieres, and close work with amazing composers and soloists.
The North State Symphony office will be open during this time, but just a little slower than usual - so thanks in advance for your patience as we respond to your phone and email messages as soon as we can! Our "relocation" hours will begin Friday, July 28, and regular hours will resume Monday, August 14.
Donations can be mailed to:

Welcome to the 17th Season of the North State Symphony and my third as your Music Director! I have continued to take in requests from the community and orchestra to create a season that will inspire you.
From our classical series -- newly renamed "Masterworks" -- to the continuation of our NSS Pops!" series, we will offer a wide variety of exciting selections to you.

We are your orchestra, and we're excited to bring you our popular four-concert Masterworks series ranging from Sibelius to Tchaikovsky, with many other cornerstone favorites of the classical repertoire. Please join me for a pre-concert talk one hour before each Masterworks performance to gain a deeper insight of the performers and pieces in the programs. I am so privileged to work with the incredible musicians of the North State Symphony as we all share the magic of live performance and work to create community through music.
Musically yours,
