More Information

We give four free high quality classical music concerts a year at El Camino College in Torrance, California. We have been performing since 1949, so this is our 63rd anniversary season. Thanks to its free concerts and pre-concert lectures, the Beach Cities Symphony has provided a learning experience for everybody in the South Bay community.
