Brevard Symphony Orchestra

The Brevard Symphony Orchestra performs at the King Center, Melbourne, Florida at their Orchestra-in-Residence.

In January 1954, an orchestra was needed to provide the accompaniment for a performance of The Mikado, which was being presented by the Northrop Glee Club.

Thirteen musicians assembled for this purpose under the direction of Frederick Jaehne and called themselves the Brevard Light Concert Orchestra.

Confessore continues to lead the BSO as well as currently holding the position of Associate Conductor of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.

There has been extensive renovation on the building over the years and it is currently listed as a Historical Site for Brevard County and the State of Florida.

[2] The Brevard Symphony Orchestra, partnering with the Brevard County School Board and through support received from local foundations and businesses, offers a free symphonic concert at the King Center each February for all 5th grade public school students.
