The La Mirada Symphony Orchestra strives to maintain its policy of offering free quality concerts to the residents of Southern California.
In 1961, creating a Symphony Orchestra for the community was the dream of Blanche Nissim, a La Mirada resident and concert pianist. She and a determined group of community advocates and local musicians united to make her dream a reality. Their Mission was to provide free concerts for residents who appreciated the cultural value of beautiful music in their lives and an opportunity for local musicians to share their talents.
The make-up of the orchestra has changed from mainly hobbyist volunteer musicians to the many professional musicians we enjoy hearing today. However, excellence comes with a price. In an age when support for the arts from public money is growing increasingly scarce, individual support is more vital than ever.
A generous La Mirada Symphony Association member has offered to match all donations up to their $20,000 gift! That means every gift that our loyal contributors give will be doubled. Click here to support the La Mirada Symphony today.
