Shoals Symphony
The Shoals Symphony Orchestra at UNA enhances the cultural life of all residents of the Shoals area through musical performances and educational programs.
Shoals Symphony at UNA 2026-2027 Season
A new chapter begins as Maestro Ethan Lolley steps in as Artistic Director, shaping a season that reflects both the sound of the Shoals and the spirit of great orchestral music.
The simplest way to experience the full season is also the most impactful: a season ticket secures your seats for all seven concerts, takes care of the details in one step, and provides the foundation we rely on to plan boldly, invest in great artists, and build a stronger future for the Shoals Symphony.

Explore the Season
From an opening night with Lenny LeBlanc and friends to genre-blending collaborations with Caleb Elliott and Billy Allen + The Pollies, this season moves easily between stages and styles. Along the way, Lolley introduces himself through a deeply personal “mixtape” of orchestral favorites, brings back a cinematic holiday celebration with even more energy, and transforms the concert hall into a 1920s speakeasy centered on the legacy of W.C. Handy.
The journey continues with a story-driven adventure inspired by worlds like The Legend of Zelda and The Firebird, before closing with Aladdin live to film. It’s a season built to surprise, connect, and invite you in at every turn. Explore the season.
