We Are Celebrating 75 Years!

Thank you for your continued support of the NBSO.  We will be announcing our upcoming season soon, so stay tuned.  We can’t wait to share a wonderful season with you!

Elizabeth Elia Young People's Concert

Our 23rd Annual  Young People’s Concert was held on April 5, 2023 at CCSU’s Welte Hall.  1,400 fifth grade students from 20 schools in New Britain, Plainville, Berlin, and Newington  attended a free, full orchestra concert led by Maestro Toshiyuki Shimada, designed to introduce the joys of symphonic music to our future audience.

The winner for this year’s “What Music Means To Me” poster and essay contest will be featured as the 2024 program cover! You can see previous winners here:
