As Southern Maryland’s only community orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Southern Maryland in Concert (COSMIC Symphony) allows residents to enjoy high-quality orchestral music, performed by local musicians, without leaving Southern Maryland. Performances are scheduled in St. Mary’s, Charles, and Calvert Counties.

COSMIC Symphony provides an enjoyable orchestral experience for a large cross-section of our community through the diversity of our musical selections. The music selections include a family program, music for young adults, holiday favorites, and symphonic music for serious concertgoers.

No less important, COSMIC Symphony provides an invaluable service to our community of local professional, semi-professional, and talented amateur musicians by creating a venue where they can perform. These community musicians love music and performance and have created a committed family of players. COSMIC Symphony is a wonderful mix of teachers, librarians, artists, engineers, computer scientists, stay-at-home parents, gifted middle and high school students, and retirees – people from all walks of life.

COSMIC Symphony also aims to nurture young musicians. An important group of COSMIC Symphony musicians represents the youth of Southern Maryland. Several of our musicians are of middle and high school age. Our more experienced musicians mentor these exceptionally talented young musicians as they continually grow and learn.

Thanks for your support of the local arts!
