Started by David & Kathy Anavitarte, BCO is a symphonic orchestra that typically has 40 musicians in its performances. Programming consists of a cross section of music from the classical repertoire and popular music from 20th Century time frame, including music from Broadway, the movies, and pops music. The orchestra is led by its founder and conductor David Anavitarte.
Season Update
This upcoming 22nd season, is as you know very different than any of the previous seasons. We are living in very tumultuous and troublous times. As you know, we had to cancel our last spring concert series due to our country’s response for the COVID-19 Corona Virus. We are still living with the fallout which creates uncertain times before us. With this in mind, the BCO is moving forward with our 2020-2021 season realizing that we will make adjustments as needed.
The BCO Strings will take to the stage alone for the upcoming fall concert series. The concert will feature our own Dr. Kurt Sprenger on violin. Also, on the program are classical, patriotic and sacred pieces. So, bring your family and friends and enjoy an evening of music with the Brazos Chamber Orchestra.
Remember, concert is free!!

Did you know that the oldest flute ever discovered was the so-called Divje Babe flute?
It was found in the Slovenian cave Divje Babe I in 1995. The item in question is a fragment of the femur of a young cave bear and has been dated about 43,000 years ago.
Take a look at the image below to see what the first flute could have looked like!
