Celebrating 70 Years of Classical Music in Bremerton

The Bremerton Symphonic Orchestra played its first concert on October 11, 1942. We are celebrating both our 70th anniversary and our 70th season this year (due to a organization-wide sabbatical for the 1975-76 season). We feel it speaks volumes about both our performances and our community that we have reached this milestone. Thank you to Bremerton and the surrounding communities for supporting us and allowing us to fulfill our mission of enriching the West Sound with classical music performances and education. We do hope you’ll join us during this special season.
