Upcoming Events

 

In a new strategic partnership with the City of Rancho Mirage, the Coachella Valley Symphony is ecstatic to announce that the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater at Rancho Mirage Community Park is their new performance home under the music direction of conductor John Mario. The symphonic concerts of the 2023-25 seasons will all be performed at the 800 plus seat venue giving the residents of Rancho Mirage and the Coachella Valley another reason to visit the beautiful setting. 

The Coachella Valley Symphony presents a FREE concert celebrating 25 years of the music and animation of Disney and Pixar films on Saturday, April 20 at 7:30PM. Pixar in Concert will feature music and visuals from 15 classics, including Pixar’s inaugural full-length computer animated film “Toy Story” (1995), and the Academy Award®-winning films “Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “WALL-E,” “Up,” and “Coco.” This concert is now SOLD OUT, however, we understand that life happens and sometimes, even if you have signed up, you can’t attend. We want as many people to enjoy this free community show, so we will be opening any UNCLAIMED REGISTERED SEATS 30 MINUTES before the show begins. Seating is first come first serve, come early and grab your seats, enjoy food & libations for purchase by Willy’s Bistro while you wait for the show to start.

Our History


 

It started with a horn!

More specifically with a Trumpet. Who would have known when 10 year old Jeannette Boulay picked up her father’s trumpet, that a symphony would be born? In the early 1980’s, Jeannette, who was now Banoczi, moved to the Coachella Valley and became involved in a local orchestra.

When she found out that the organization was struggling to stay afloat, she went to work and reorganized, staffed, and founded what is today the Coachella Valley Symphony. In 1995, along with a generous gift from movie star and musician Buddy Rogers and his wife Beverly - the Buddy Rogers Youth Symphony was formed.

Our Youth Programs


As a community music organization, the Symphony is composed of three components: An adult orchestra, and two educational programs the Beginning Strings Conservatory and the Buddy Rogers Youth Symphony. These programs have been arranged to encourage members to continually transition from one program to another as one advances musically and matures in age.
