Winner will receive a Season Subscription ticket valued at $510 for the Greater Bridgeport Symphony in Bridgeport.

Of all our goals, inspiration and education are paramount.

Music inspires, and great music inspires greatly.

The music performed at the Greater Bridgeport Symphony is history, whether it is a 250-year-old Mozart Symphony or a piece written in this decade by a young African-American woman. This history, through music, can teach as few other media can.

We have the ability to reach out, touch souls, and change lives. We've been doing this in Bridgeport for three-quarters of a century, but never so ardently as in the past several years. Under the direction of our dynamic young conductor, Eric Jacobsen, GBS has been a presence in Bridgeport schools. We've brought musicians into classrooms, and the entire orchestra into all three high schools for live concerts. The world-famous violinist Gil Shaham accompanied the orchestra to Central High School in 2019.

Even during the Pandemic, GBS continued to serve our community, providing much-needed live entertainment, safely, in outdoor venues, as well as a full virtual season for our subscribers - something no other orchestra in our part of the country did. The Pandemic itself made GBS stretch itself into new realms, such as the creation of educational concert videos for use in music classes in Bridgeport, and we continue to provide this resource even as the Pandemic recedes.
