Who We Are
The Rio Hondo Symphony performs four admission free classical music concerts each season at the Vic Lopez Auditorium at Whittier High School, Whittier Ave. in Whittier California. The concerts start at 3 PM, have one intermission, and are completed before 5 PM. Two concerts are held in the fall, and two in the spring.
Each concert is preceded by a Concert Preview sponsored by the Rio Hondo Symphony Guild and is held at 10 AM on the Friday before concert. In addition, each concert is followed by a reception hosted by the cities of Whittier, Santa Fe Springs, Pico Rivera and the Symphony Association in a separate location for each reception. Members at the Soloist level ($100) and higher will receive an invitation to the reception in the mail.
Various special events related to the Rio Hondo Symphony are held each year.
This year we are proud to announce that the City of Santa Fe Springs will host a Pops Concert by the Rio Hondo Symphony to celebrate both the Symphony's 75th Diamond Jubilee Season and the 50th Anniversary of the City of Santa Fe Springs. This concert will be performed at the Santa Fe Springs Town Center Plaza at 8 PM on Friday, July 20, 2007. As with all performances of the Rio Hondo Symphony, we are proud to offer this musical extravaganza free of charge.
