Santa Barbara City College Symphony Orchestra

The Santa Barbara City College Symphony was founded in 1969 by Jack Ullom as a performance class in the music curriculum. Currently under the baton of James Mooy, the Symphony continues its tradition of excellence. The symphony is comprised of talented community, college, and high school students who meet on Tuesday evenings to prepare for one major performance each semester. The fifty-five piece symphony is a true community symphony which has performed major symphonic works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, Dvorak, Mussorgsky, and Copland. The symphony also features professional, faculty, and student soloists drawn from the community and college. Special concerts for dinner shows and a Viennese Grand Ball are additions to the featured concert each semester.
