“

It is incredibly inspiring to me to think about all the people who have worked together to bring the music and message of the BSO to everyone in Brevard County. Countless performances for hundreds of thousands of audience members over the years is both thrilling and awe-inspring all at once.

�

Welcome to the our 65th anniversary season!

65 years of bringing great symphonic music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, throughout our community. 65 years of inspiring and enriching the lives of music lovers in Brevard and Indian River counties.

65 years of entertaining and enthralling our listeners through committed performances of the highest caliber. What an amazing legacy!

I am thrilled to share a fabulous season of great music making with you, your family, and your friends. Our 65th Season offers an incredible array of spectacular music. From the power of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, to the passion of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, to the thrill of discovering unfamiliar music from today and yesterday – our 65th Anniversary Season truly has it all! And we aren’t the only ones celebrating – our season includes tributes to other great institutions in our community.

We celebrate the Brevard Symphony Youth Orchestra’s 35th Anniversary with a Side-By-Side performance in November - and later in the season we celebrate one of mankind’s greatest achievements, the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, with a special work commissioned for the occasion! And our Subscription Series opens in October with an entire concert celebrating the 100th birthday of one of our country’s greatest musicians, Leonard Bernstein.

So much to celebrate!

Your Brevard Symphony has never been more committed to serving our entire community.

Our performances are geared for music fans of all ages and we look forward to seeing you there. Join us for a LIVE performance of great music – the most immersive and interactive experience of all!
