Carmel Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The Carmel Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is a storied 85-member ensemble founded in 1976 by Viktors Ziedonis. Since 2011, CSO has served as the resident orchestra at the Palladium, Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana, a cornerstone venue forFine and engaging classical programming in the Indianapolis area. Over the years, CSO has collaborated with notable conductors, including Janna Hymes (2017–2023), and today presents concerts under the baton of Kelly Kuo and Kelly Corcoran. The orchestra continues to blend innovative programming with community engagement, delivering concerts that appeal to both devoted classical listeners and new audiences.

CSO maintains a strong recording profile, notably collaborating with Michael Feinstein on the album We Dreamed These Days (DuckHole Records). The initial release came around 2011, with a re-release noted in 2014, supported by The Feinstein Foundation and the Center for the Performing Arts. This project reflects CSO’s commitment to arts education and accessibility through partnerships and outreach.

Beyond performance, CSO’s education initiatives include the Music Matters program, offering free concerts to 5th and 6th graders. The orchestra also partners with local arts organizations for Nutcracker performances, CarmelFest, and other community events, enriching Carmel’s cultural landscape and inspiring the next generation of listeners.

Looking ahead, the 2025–2026 season promises a diverse slate of programs and collaborations, continuing the CSO’s mission to present compelling classical music in engaging formats. Upcoming highlights include Love Letters from Paris, Nordic Nights, Symphonic Odyssey, and more as part of a broad, audience-focused calendar.
