The Symphony's Classics series and Neighborhood Concerts series present a broad spectrum of symphonic and chamber orchestra masterworks from the Baroque through the present day.

Throughout its history the Symphony has collaborated with the world's leading soloists, including Andrés Segovia, Alicia de Larrocha, Luciano Pavarotti, Isaac Stern, André Watts, Itzhak Perlman, Emanuel Ax, and Yo-Yo Ma. Committed to performing works by American composers and to expanding the orchestra’s repertoire by commissioning new works, the Charlotte Symphony has presented world-premieres of more than 30 new compositions.
