We recently had our first concert since the Covid-19 Pandemic began.

We are currently still in the planning stages for our return to the stage, but are hoping to resume rehearsals this fall.

The Sandhills Symphony Orchestra is always looking for new members.  If you are a musician living in central Nebraska and are interested in joining the symphony, please call the symphony conductor Christa Speed at 308-380-9631.

As a precaution to the health and safety of our musicians, family, friends, and patrons, the Sandhills Symphony Board members and the Conductor have decided to cancel our April 5th concert. We will look to begin our next season in the Fall of 2020. We appreciate your understanding in this challenging time.
