Culture in Daytona Beach



The Daytona Beach Symphony Society

For 63 years, the Daytona Beach Symphony Society (DBSS) has been bringing world-class musical performance to our area. If you are relocating to the Florida east coast from a big city, fear not! Culture abounds in the greater Daytona Beach Area!



During the last season, which just ended, wildly famous and unbelievably talented orchestras and soloists performed for our community, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, and the Mariinsky Orchestra. Soloists included violin virtuosos Pinchas Zukerman and Ray Chen, pianist Vladimir Feltsman, and many more. Even the Russian National Ballet Theatre performed at the Peabody Auditorium   in Daytona! So you can see, just from the most recent season, the DBSS can easily compete with much larger cities.



 Community Involvement



The DBSS offers more than just a night of breathtaking music. They support many outreach programs: With focus on at-risk children, YES (Youth Experiencing Symphony) introduces over 3,000 local students to classical music each year. Research has soundly proven the importance of the arts in students’ academic success. Therefore this program is relevant on many levels.



DBSS also reaches out to senior citizens, offering reduced fare transportation services. So if you are on a fixed income, you can still experience the joys of beautiful music!



Family discounts are offered to adults attending with children. They receive a  discount on adult tickets and pay $10 for their children. A family of four can attend any of our concerts for an affordable price. And area students can attend performances for $10.



Making art accessible is one of DBSS’s important missions


Take a look what the Daytona Beach SymphonySociety has to offer you. 


By the time the 64th season comes around on November 20 with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, you might be ready to enjoy some of the remarkable performances the Symphony Society brings to Daytona.
