Brazos Civic Orchestra (BCO) is a community orchestra composed of musicians who are passionate about music, enjoy making music together and the good company of fellow members, and wish to share excellent music with our local community. We feel our lives and those of our audiences are enhanced by being involved in the orchestra, as the BCO provides a much-needed source of symphonic music in the Bryan/College Station area.
BCO was formed by a violinist, Wolfgang Verdegaal, who wanted an ensemble in which to play, and a conductor, Joe Daigle, who wanted an orchestra to direct. The idea quickly and organically grew from a handful of interested friends and friends of friends into a full orchestra in a few months, and in the Fall of 2017, the BCO's first concert was performed within one year of its founding.
The BCO is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that presents free public concerts 2-3 times a year and is always open to new members and volunteers to support the organization. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization.
The Brazos Civic Orchestra Board was established to support and guide the Brazos Civic Orchestra members and endeavors and to help ensure its longevity as a staple in our community.
