The Quincy Symphony Orchestra
The Quincy Symphony
Orchestra, established in 1947 by George M. Irwin, performs five
concerts annually. These include four
subscription concerts, and three performances of an annual Young
People's educational concert.

We are committed to the creation of new music, and collaboration with living composers.
