Welcome to a season of ICONIC masterpieces. In this, our third season together, the Southern Miss Symphony Orchestra and I have pulled out all the stops as we celebrate many of the most acclaimed and influential works of the past two centuries. We bookend our year with some of the most famous melodies ever written for orchestra. Along the way, we will feature numerous guest artists from both near and far in works that express the full range of human emotion. You won’t want to miss a single event.

The 107th season of your Southern Miss Symphony Orchestra opens with two works made famous in popular culture. Rossini’s William Tell overture and Ravel’s Bolero were featured in classics for the large and small screens. Jeffrey Wood’s touching portrayal of Joseph Mer-rick was named the première of the year by Nashville Scene in 2016.
