Founded in 1963, the Bryan Symphony Orchestra Association (BSOA) is a professional symphony located in Cookeville, Tennessee. The BSOA works in partnership with the Tennessee Technological University’s School of Music but is its own 501(c)3 organization governed by a board of directors chosen from the community. Cookeville is a micropolitan community with a city population of 36,000. However, the symphony serves a much larger region of 130,000 people. Cookeville is a regional hub for business and continues to grow as a destination for families and retirees alike. Its proximity to Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga make it a great central location with a “small town” feel while boasting a vibrant arts community. The mission of the Bryan Symphony Orchestra Association is to engage, educate, and enrich its community through the performance of live music.
