The Kingston Symphony is a professional orchestra made up of approximately 55 musicians, many of whom have chosen to live in Kingston because of the performance opportunities the orchestra provides. There is a core of 11 musicians under annual contracts, with the remaining players hired on a per service basis.

Under the direction of Edouard Bartlett and Alexander Brott, the orchestra expanded to its present supplement of approximately 55 musicians. Brian Jackson was Music Director from 1982 to 1991. Glen Fast was Music Director from 1991 to 2014 and has now taken on the role of Conductor Emeritus. Evan Mitchell is currently Music Director.
