The Boston Civic Symphony is the second oldest orchestra in Boston, Massachusetts.

History

The Boston Civic Symphony was founded in 1924 by Joseph Wagner.[1] The group performs at the New England Conservatory in Jordan Hall[2][3][4][5][6] on Gainsborough Street and at Eleanor Welch Casey Theatre of Regis College Fine Arts Center in Weston.[7]

Highly respected performer, conductor, and teacher Max Hobart has had an association with The Boston Civic Symphony since 1979.[8] Retired after 27 years with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Hobart brings a rich perspective to his responsibilities as Music Director of The Boston Civic Symphony.[9]
