The past year has brought about many changes in the way business is conducted. In these uncertain times, the Baytown Symphony Orchestra has decided to continue offering classical music to the Baytown area. In a first for the 53 seasons of the BSO, we will broadcast the 2020-2021 season opener concert series virtually through BaytownSymphony.com. Our community driven symphony is one of the few in the country that has continued onward and found ways to progress during these times of social distancing and large gatherings being prohibited.
A great assortment of music from Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, Dukas’s Fanfare to precede La Péri, Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Corelli’s Pastorale from the Christmas Concerto, along with various other featured chamber works will be available for streaming from the BSO website. New pieces will be released regularly up to the Christmas Holidays.
This will also be Music Director Pierre-Alain Chevalier's farewell performance with the BSO. The Baytown Symphony Board of Directors and Lee College Music Department thanks Dr. Chevalier for his dedication, management style, artistic innovations, and improvements to the orchestra’s musical repertoire. Dr. Chevalier, the musicians, and the BSO Board have enjoyed working together to bring outstanding classical music to the local community. We wish him well on his future endeavors.

farewall Letter from Music director dr. Pierre-alain Chevalier
To the patrons of the Baytown Symphony Orchestra,
The last four years with the Baytown Symphony have been the most rewarding of my professional career. The work that the BSO has done is, truly, something to be proud of, and I’m glad to have played a part in it.
It has been a pleasure to work with and get to know the many wonderful musicians that make the BSO the outstanding musical ensemble that it is. Many thanks to the leadership—Amy Wiggs, James Marioneaux, Alan Johnson—the board of directors, and the wonderful faculty and administrators at Lee College, especially Dr. Ken Booker, Director of Instrumental Studies. It truly takes a village to keep an organization like the BSO humming along and for everyone’s part they played I say a great big “Thank You!” and for your friendship I am ever in your debt.
It is bittersweet to be leaving Houston, but my wife and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives. After 12 years away from our families in Oregon—10 of which were in Houston—we are ready to return. I know the future for the BSO is a bright one. I will hold a special place in
my heart for Baytown, this orchestra, and its wonderful musicians.
To a bright, safe, happy 2021 !
