At the end of August, the Waterbury Symphony received word that they would be the recipient of a $70,000 forgivable loan from the Waterbury Development Corporation to renovate the property 110 Bank Street for their new multipurpose office space. The new office will mean that the symphony will have street-level office space for the first time in its 70 year history in Waterbury.

The new office space, which is considerably larger than the current office, will allow the symphony to have multipurpose space that can be used to do more educational programs and small ensemble concerts. Plus, it gives the symphony a presence to the general public in downtown.

Be sure to keep a watch out for some of the new programs that the symphony will be offering. Some of the educational programs that are being considered are lunch hour educational series and more recurrences of our instrument petting zoo. The multipurpose space will also allow for the possibility to do chamber concerts as well.
