Gulf Coast Symphony

Fort Myers Symphony. Serving Lee County, Florida.

Founded in late 1995 by its current music director and CEO, Dr. Andrew Kurtz, the Gulf Coast Symphony (GCS) is now the second-largest non-profit performing arts organization in Lee county.

The MACC serves as a creative hub for our community. We offer classes in art and music for all ages; MusicWorks! – an El-sistema inspired, daily after-school string program for grades 1-5; a youth orchestra program for grades 6-12; and a youth jazz program. A New Horizons band offers opportunities for adults with limited experience, but interest in participating in an ensemble.
