The Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra – the Central Massachusetts region’s fully professional, world-class resident orchestra is about to bring it’s 2023-24 Concert Season to a close with “Symphony Movie Pops Night” on Saturday, April 27, 2024 in the Grand Ballroom of the Milford Town Hall.

The CHSO produces an entire season of professional symphony concerts at its beautiful and acoustically perfect Milford Town Hall home venue, a Jazz Series at the Sorrento in Milford, and a chamber music series at Apple Tree Arts in Grafton. All three series have enjoyed tremendous success this year – with truly outstanding performances and record audience attendances, as the orchestra stands poised to bring the concert season to a climactic Finale!

“The Claflin Hill Symphony was founded in 2000 with a mission to create a musical, cultural venue for the region’s finest professional musicians – many of whom came to our country from all over the world to study in the great music schools in Boston, became citizens, now make their homes in our region and teach in our public and private schools,” said Paul Surapine, Founding Executive and Artistic Director. “We seek to build a NEW audience for the greatest musical heritage of the past 300-plus years by creating programming that is “familiar” and expands the audience’s musical “palate.” Centered in Milford, CHSO has an exponentially growing audience base from communities throughout the Central Massachusetts region – many of whom never experienced the power and sublime beauty of great music being created right before their eyes!”

The CHSO Season Finale will feature music of many of the greatest and most popular movie film scores – including music of John Williams and many of the other great film composers of the past 50 years.  Film scores from Star Wars, The Godfather, Titanic, Dr. Zhivago, West Side Story, Out of Africa and more will be performed, along with projected “still” imagery from those epic and historic Hollywood favorites.

Post Symphony Season, Claflin Hill is looking forward to an entire summer of free outdoor park concerts throughout the region.   Claflin Hill produces “Family Night at the Bandstand” every Tuesday evening in Milford Town Park throughout July and August and makes concert visits to numerous communities in an expanding region.

The Claflin Hill Symphony Summer Winds will perform for the first time ever in Holliston on Saturday, August 17,2024 from 6- 8 PM as part of the Holliston 300^th Birthday Celebrations!  Claflin Hill will also perform in Northbridge, Grafton and Medway this summer.
