First Timer's Guide What is the difference between a symphony, an orchestra, and a philharmonic? The short answer is: NOTHING! Among the top tier orchestras, in the U.S., are the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and Chicago Symphony. The word “orchestra” defines a group of musicians performing a concert. “Symphony” means harmony. “Philharmonic” is the love of harmony. Orchestras may choose their names based on how it sounds with their city, state, or to differentiate it from other orchestras located in the same city or area. How long are the performances? Most concerts last approximately 2 hours, including a 15 minute intermission. Any significant exceptions to this time frame will be noted on the individual concert page on our website. Each performance is divided into two parts, with an intermission in the middle. When should I clap? Generally, you clap only after a piece of music is completed. For example, if you’re listening to Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, which has four movements, it is generally considered appropriate to only clap after the last movement. You can look at your program book to find out how many movements a piece has. Usually, there is a short pause between movements. Although, sometimes there is no discernible gap. If you’re unsure, you’ll know the piece is over when Maestro Confessore turns around to face the audience. However, even though the norm is to remain quiet between movements, if you are moved to display your appreciation after a particularly exciting movement, feel free to clap away! How many musicians are on stage? Typically, there are approximately 65 musicians on stage. The number of musicians required depends on the piece of music being performed. At times, we have a smaller orchestra and, at other times, we have as many as 100 musicians on stage.

Will I recognize any of the music? You’ll probably recognize far more than you would imagine. Many of today’s popular songs, television shows and movies use classical themes, including the “Lone Ranger” theme (Rossini’s William Tell Overture), the Bugs Bunny cartoon “What’s Opera, Doc?” (Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries) and Billy Joel’s “This Night” (Beethoven’s Pathétique Piano Sonata), to name a few. What kind of accommodations does the King Center provide for patrons with disabilities and impairments? The King Center offers a variety of accommodations for guests with ADA requirements. Please speak to an usher for more information.

From Janet E.

Under the baton and direction of our Music Director, Christoper Confessore, our very talented orchestra will perform a repertoire of spectacular concerts this year. Last season, for the first time, the BSO presented a successful Pops Series. This exciting series was well received and supported by the community. The BSO has fabulous Classical and Pops concerts scheduled for the 2025-2026 season! The Board of Directors recognizes and is grateful to the entire BSO family, consisting of our staff, BSO South Guild, Brevard Symphony Youth Orchestra, corporate sponsors, concert sponsors, individual donors and concert attendees. I am so pleased and proud to be a member of our BSO family. Together, we make a difference in Brevard County and ensure the orchestra continues to perform! Please consider introducing your friends to the BSO by bringing them to a concert, fundraising event or a South Guild luncheon meeting.


Maestro Christopher Confessore Christopher Confessore currently serves as Music Director of the Brevard Symphony Orchestra and Principal POPS Conductor of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. During his acclaimed tenure in Brevard, the orchestra has enjoyed a dramatic and sustained period of artistic excellence and has been praised for its innovative programming, spirited performances and broad repertoire. Mr. Confessore joined the Alabama Symphony Orchestra’s conducting staff in 2000. During that time, he has led the ASO in hundreds of Pops, Masterworks, Educational/Outreach, and Outdoor performances across the state of Alabama. Mr. Confessore’s schedule as a guest conductor has included appearances with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, North Carolina Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, Charlotte (NC) Symphony, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, Sarasota Orchestra, Amarillo Symphony Orchestra, Hartford Symphony Orchestra, New Mexico Philharmonic, and the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. He has appeared as a conductor for two of Walt Disney World’s most elaborate productions: The Candlelight Processional at EPCOT – a production featuring a full orchestra, 300-voice choir and celebrity narrators including Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, Kurt Russell, and Sigourney Weaver – and The Music of Pixar: A Symphony of Characters at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Throughout his career, Mr. Confessore has demonstrated a strong commitment to sharing symphonic music with young people. During the 2025-26 season he will conduct more than 50 performances of 10 different educational programs with orchestras across the country for a combined audience of more than 80,000 eager young listeners. Heralded as a sensitive accompanist and inspiring collaborator, Christopher Confessore has accompanied a distinguished list of concert artists, including Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, and Lang Lang. As a Pops conductor, he has appeared with a diverse group of superstars, including Grammy Award winners Art Garfunkel, Amy Grant, Roberta Flack, Patti LaBelle, Judy Collins, Indigo Girls, Marvin Hamlisch, LeAnn Rimes, Chris Botti, Peabo Bryson, Rick Springfield, Patti Austin, Jon Anderson, Nanci Griffith, Lee Greenwood, and Charlie Daniels and Tony Award winners Idina Menzel and Jennifer Holliday. Music columnist Mary Colurso of The Birmingham News remarked “Anyone who regards the symphony as stuffy and elitist hasn’t been to a SuperPops show when Confessore’s in charge. He exudes nice-guy appeal on stage, along with real warmth, a sense of humor and smarts to spare.” Mr. Confessore holds a Master of Music degree in Instrumental Conducting from the University of Southern California and the Bachelor of Music degree in Bassoon Performance from Florida State University.

Praised by The Baltimore Sun for her “impeccable technique…deeply expressive phrasing…and poetic weight," Sirena Huang is one of her generation’s most celebrated violinists. She brings not only technical brilliance and powerful artistry to the stage, but also a profound sense of connection to her audience. Sirena is the 2022 Gold Medalist of the 11th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and was also awarded eight of the eleven special prizes. Sirena made her solo debut with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in 2004 at the age of nine and has since performed in 20 countries across three continents. She has been a soloist with numerous prestigious ensembles, including the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Shanghai, Russian, Evergreen, National Taiwan, and Singapore symphony orchestras, and the Staatskapelle Weimar in Germany. In the spring of 2025, Sirena made her Carnegie Hall recital debut in Zankel Hall to great acclaim. Sirena has performed before world leaders, thinkers and humanitarians. She graduated from The Juilliard School, where she studied with Stephen Clapp, Sylvia Rosenberg and Itzhak Perlman and holds an Artist Diploma from Yale University’s School of Music, where she studied with Hyo Kang. Sirena performs on a Guarneri del Gesù violin, Cremona 1739 “Kortschak”, which is on loan from Dr. Ryuji Ueno and Rare Violins In Consortium, Artists and Benefactors Collaborative.
