History

The Downey Symphonic Society, Inc. was founded in 1948 by a group of public-spirited citizens, in order to bring good symphonic music to the Greater Downey Community. The first concert was presented in 1957 at the Avenue Theater, on Downey Avenue, sponsored by the Rotary Club. The Downey Symphonic Society is governed by a volunteer board of directors.  In 1961, the society received tax-exempt status, so that all donations are deductible.
