Newport, Oregon
The Newport Symphony Orchestra is the only full-time professional symphony on the Oregon coast. The ensemble includes musicians from the coast, Eugene, Portland, Salem, and beyond. Home base for the orchestra is the 400-seat Newport Performing Arts Center, just a few steps away from the gorgeous Oregon seashore in historic Nye Beach.
Maestro Adam Flatt is the Artistic Director and Conductor of the NSO, and Associate Conductor is popular actor and narrator David Ogden Stiers.
The NSO began in 1988 as the Yaquina Chamber Orchestra, later shortened to the Yaquina Orchestra. The name “Newport Symphony Orchestra” was adopted in 2004.
The symphony typically performs four concerts per year, plus a free pops concert on the Fourth of July.
