Methodology. The study employs historical research methods, along with analysis and synthesis techniques, to examine information about contemporary symphonic music, contemporary composers, and their works.

Results. The study identifies key trends and transformations in contemporary symphonic music. It highlights the contributions of significant composers and examines their works' impact on both symphonic and theatrical performances. The research underscores the diversity and innovation in modern symphonic music, reflecting a blend of traditional and contemporary elements. The research focuses on composers such as Gustav Mahler, Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, Steve Reich, and others. The study also analyzes musical styles that have influenced modern symphonic music trends.

Conclusions. Contemporary symphonic music has undergone significant transformations while maintaining its relevance in the theatrical domain.
