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!!
