Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra

About

Located in California's Central Valley, Bakersfield is a city that has thrived off of agricultural production since it was founded in the 1800s. Though the city is a thriving agrarian mecca, Bakersfield has managed to build a name for itself as a fairly respectable artistic hub with organizations like the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. First starting out as a community orchestra with adults and student instrumentalists in the 1920, it would exist for for nearly a decade until it officially became the Bakersfield Orchestra in 1932, with the intent of playing two compositional classics every year. It has since become a heatedly more professional company, performing numerous shows around the year, playing a range of material including modern symphonic pieces and more revered pieces from the likes of Beethoven and Mozart
