The Bucks County Symphony Orchestra has been sharing the joy of symphonic music with our community since 1954.  Our formation is an interesting story in itself, and our journey through seven decades has been one of continuous evolution and progress.   From humble beginnings, built upon a foundation of confidence and profound commitment, to the current day when we have been forced to weather the disruptions caused by a worldwide pandemic, it has been our good fortune to collectively develop a multitude of creative ways to stay connected with our public and each other throughout these 68 years.

On this website, you will notice our two newest features:  The BCSO Story and Meet the Orchestra (coming soon).  By sharing ourselves and the history of the BCSO with you, who have come to be an integral part of the Symphony’s family, we hope to both entertain you and pique your curiosity to find out more about one of the Bucks County’s cultural treasures.

The “chapters” of our story will change two or three times each month, while the videos and messages in Meet the Orchestra will update regularly.  You will discover fascinating facts about our first concert in 1954, how our logo came into being, the honors and awards that have been presented to the BCSO over the years, our four music directors and their influence on the development of the Orchestra, special events that have defined and enhanced our programs…and much, much more.

We invite you to come on this journey with us, until we can meet again in person and together share the joy of symphonic music through live performance!
