Ribbon Cutting: Bryan Symphony Orchestra

Description

Join us for a ribbon cutting celebrating the Bryan Symphony Orchestra's return to Derryberry Hall at Tennessee Tech University!

For the BSO, this is more than a venue change. It is a homecoming. Derryberry Hall is where the orchestra was founded in 1963, and Joan Derryberry herself once performed on this very stage. As the BSO opens its 63rd season, they are proud to return to where it all began, with a season built around the theme of connection.

The season opener, Appalachian Connections, takes place Sunday, October 11th at 3:00 PM. From the misty ridgelines of Appalachia to the fiery rhythms of Mexico, the concert traces the threads that connect us, featuring mandolin virtuoso Jeff Midkiff in a genre-bending showcase of bluegrass grit and orchestral color under the baton of Maestro Dan Allcott.

Come celebrate this meaningful homecoming with us!
