A Century of Music, Community & Impact
For 100 years, the Brockton Symphony Orchestra (BrSO) has been at the heart of our community’s cultural life — bringing world-class music to Metro South, inspiring young musicians, and creating shared experiences that uplift, connect, and enrich every generation. Now, as we celebrate our centennial milestone, we invite you to join us in honoring our past and securing our future.
From our early concerts in modest halls to performances that have filled churches, theaters, and hearts across the region, BrSO has been a constant creative force — inspiring joy, curiosity, and community pride. This 100-year legacy reflects not only artistic excellence but deep and lasting community support. Every note we’ve played has been made possible because neighbors like you believed that great music belongs in Brockton and beyond.
Why Your Support Matters Now
We are marking this historic centennial with the An Evening of Elegance Centennial Gala — a celebration of everything BrSO has achieved and an investment in what comes next. But celebrating isn’t enough. To sustain and grow our mission — from classical concerts to education initiatives, outreach programs, and community collaborations — we need community champions to stand with us.
Our orchestra depends on local individuals, families, and businesses who value the power of the arts. Your contribution:
Enables high-quality performances that are accessible to all
Supports music education and youth engagement in schools and community settings
Helps expand outreach programs that bring music to underserved audiences
Strengthens our organizational foundation as we prepare for another century of artistic excellence
Dual Pathways for Impact
We are seeking support in two meaningful ways:
Individual Giving
Your personal gift — at any level — affirms that music matters. Whether it’s $25 or $2,500, your contribution makes a tangible difference in sustaining our season and extending our reach. Centennial giving is a chance for individuals to leave a legacy, celebrate with us, and be part of something timeless.
Business & Community Partnerships
We are proud to partner with local businesses that share our vision for a vibrant cultural community. Business sponsorships support the gala and our season programming while:
Raising community visibility for your organization
Demonstrating civic leadership
Strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of the region
