Sundays at the Symphony!

Come experience the extraordinary sounds of NPOI’s music from the vibrant Irving Arts Center.

Who We Are

We’re a “new” symphony orchestra, now over 30 years old.

We’d like to be perhaps the first place a family – or a student – hears the great symphonic music in a concert hall … a place where families and all who love music in Irving and north Texas can come to hear the best in symphonic music at affordable ticket prices, on a Sunday afternoon.  We perform five classical concerts each season at the Irving Arts Center, our “Sundays at the Symphony” series.

And from the beginning, our goal has been to become a valued resource and partner with Irving schools and students. Or, in the more formal words of our mission statement:

“The mission of the New Philharmonic Orchestra of Irving (NPOI) is to enhance the cultural arts of north Texas by offering high-quality orchestral performances to the community at affordable prices and providing a classical repertoire that fosters and challenges local musicians to their utmost abilities.”

We hope you’ll join us this season!
