The Santa Barbara Symphony is hosting a free preview of its new season on September 18.

The September 18 event includes a reception, a chance to play some instruments, and live performances.

The Santa Barbara Symphony is getting ready to kick off its 2025-2026 season in a special way. It will give the community a free season preview on September 18 at the Lobero Theater.

The Symphony’s season features eight concert events, ranging from Mozart’s Requiem to a New Year’s Eve celebration. It’s a special season for the symphony, with Music and Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti kicking off his 20th season in Santa Barbara.

The preview kicks off with a reception. People can try instruments from the Symphony’s mobile education van, and there will be live performances.

While the preview event is free, you must register because space is limited.
