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.

Daytona Beach - Gateway to the World!



Whether you live in Flagler, Daytona, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, or Edgewater, you are always near an airport. Or maybe you are considering relocating to our beautiful Daytona Beach Area! Picking up friends and family for the popular Florida visits and getting away yourself are both easy and fast. 


 The closest airport to our coastal area is Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB). It is located right off of International Speedway Boulevard across from Volusia Mall. And it’s about a mile from the I4 and I95 intersection.
DAB is serviced by two big airlines: United Air and Delta. Both offer overseas flights, making Daytona Beach an international hub. DAB


Sanford Airport (SBA) is an easy 30-minute drive from any of our Daytona Beach Area coastal towns (Sanford also has some fun restaurants and shops you should check out while you’re there. And don’t forget the nifty Sanford Zoo.)

This airport is serviced by several charter airlines that offer national and international flights, such as Allegiant, IcelandAir, ArkeFly, JetAir, Monarch, and several others. If you are an international traveler, you will appreciate this service, as well as the very affordable airfares. SBA

 Orlando International Airport (MCO) is, of course, the largest area airport. It is about an hour drive via I4 or I95 and toll roads, such as 528 and 417. MCO’s proximity to the Disney Parks makes it a desirable hub for local and international travelers alike.

MCO is serviced by all major airlines, including Southwest Air, United Airlines, Frontier, Delta, British Airlines, Lufthansa, JetBlu and many more. The size of the airport necessitates arriving early for flights, since security lines can be long. On the upside, MCO has many amenities, it is smack-dab in the center of Florida, and it offers flights to and from just about anywhere in the world. MCO




So no matter where on the central Florida coast you live or are thinking about living, you will always have easy access to the rest of the United States and the world!
