ABOUT THE ORCHESTRA

The Beatrice Regional Orchestra was founded in January of 2009 by Connie Moon. The orchestra gave its inaugural concert in May of 2009. The orchestra is made up of musicians from greater Southeast Nebraska and from all walks of life. Membership is open to players high school and above. We rehearse Tuesday evenings during the school year in the high school band room. To find out more about playing in the orchestra, please contact Kevin Boesiger at rkboesiger@gmail.com . 

The orchestra operates under the umbrella of the Beatrice Area Arts Council. It is made possible by a grant from the Hevelone Foundation, ticket sales and contributions from supporters. Consider becoming a donor to ensure the orchestra can continue to bring music to our community.
