About the Coeur d'Alene Symphony
For more than four decades, the Coeur d'Alene Symphony Orchestra has been bringing music to the people of North Idaho. Founded by volunteers in 1980, the CSO has grown from a community passion project into a professional orchestra that draws talented musicians from across the region and beyond.
From beloved seasonal concerts to free community programs like Saturday with the Symphony, we believe music has the power to inspire, connect, and transform. Whether you're a lifelong classical music lover or attending your first symphony concert, there's a place for you here.
