The Cape Ann Symphony had its beginnings in February 1952, when Sam and Helen Gordon, an East Gloucester couple — who were both devoted amateur musicians, conceived the idea of a local orchestra, using the talents of local people. Their goal was to offer Cape Ann "the music you love by the people you know.” Beginning as a volunteer group, thirty or so individuals pooled their talents — serving not only as musicians but as a board of officers as well. Calling themselves the “Gloucester Civic Symphony Orchestra,” they delighted some 800 concertgoers on July 10th, 1952 in the Gloucester high school auditorium with a presentation of Beethoven’s First Symphony.

For the next 28 years, Sam Gordon presided over what soon become known as the Cape Ann Symphony Orchestra. Performances were free to the public. Any expenses not covered by Sam's constant efforts to glean support from friends and local businesses were dealt with by Sam himself, paying "out of pocket."

After Sam’s death, new by-laws were adopted in December of 1980 stating that a professional conductor, printing, music, hall rental, insurance, postage, soloists, and additional instrumentalists would all be paid for, as they were in other community orchestras, by charging admission to performances.

Today, the Cape Ann Symphony is an all-professional orchestra, evolving from an all-volunteer one over many years, and with a performance level to rival any regional Symphony in the country. The quality of the orchestra is such that the organization is now working to bring Cape Ann Symphony concerts to venues throughout Boston’s North Shore, and beyond.

Previous music directors and conductors were Bertram Whitman, John Murray and Armand Vorce at the Symphony’s inception, followed by Royston Nash and Kay George Roberts in the 1980’s and Richard Vanstone for nearly a decade in the 1990’s. The present artistic director and conductor (2017), Yoichi Udagawa, came to the symphony in 2000, when he guided the Cape Ann Symphony through the celebration of its 50th anniversary to standing ovations in performance after performance. 

The Cape Ann Symphony’s mission is to foster and promote symphonic music to increase the musical enjoyment and knowledge of the public of Cape Ann and Boston’s North Shore. The Cape Ann Symphony provides the means and opportunity for accomplished musicians to perform together. It supports and encourages the musical appreciation and development of people of all ages, with an emphasis on youth, taking an active role in the community. The Cape Ann Symphony aspires to national recognition as a leading regional orchestra renowned for artistic excellence, financial stability, and civic spirit.
