excerpts of Centennial history by Jonathan Jeffrey
In 2008, the Bowling Green Western Symphony Orchestra celebrates a century of providing learning
opportunities for student and community musicians as well as entertaining and educating the public
about the joys of orchestral music. What many modern concert attendees may not realize is that
this one hundred year tenure makes the BGWSO the oldest continuously operating symphony orchestra
in the Commonwealth. The BGWSO today is a true town-gown triumph! The Orchestra exists today
because of widespread community support.
As the BGWSO celebrates its centennial, it stands in a very healthy position. For generations,
musicians—students, townspeople, WKU faculty, and professionals—have melded their talents to
produce quality concerts for an eager public. The venues have changed, the musicians have changed,
the music has changed, the conductors have changed, but the end product—beautiful orchestral
music—has remained a constant. Today the BGWSO serves as a model of cooperation and financial
stability for symphony orchestras in similar-sized communities across America. The next one hundred
years certainly hold great promise for this important arts organization.
