Mission and Vision:
Symphony Space is a multi-disciplinary performing arts center where bold programming, presented in a uniquely warm and welcoming environment, forges indelible relationships between artists and audiences.
Our fundamental mission is to connect art, ideas, and community through our programs and our commitment to literacy and education through the arts.
On our New York City stages, through our national broadcasts, and in the classrooms and communities we serve throughout the country, we foster access to the arts through all the disciplines. Our embrace of the audience and the arts is wide, and the experience of our audience is deep and enriched.
Values:
Forging connections between artists and community
Fostering accessibility—financially, culturally, and artistically
Cultivating engagement across multiple art forms and with other arts and cultural organizations
Building community by playing an active role in our immediate neighborhood, the larger city, and across the nation
Championing arts education for children and literacy initiatives for adults
