Symphony of Southeast Texas

Formerly the Beaumont Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony of Southeast Texas (SOST) was founded by the Beaumont Symphony Society in 1953. The first performance, held on May 12th of that year, was the start of the Beaumont Symphony Society's mission to advance and promote a further appreciation of symphonic music, and to present student concerts to further the musical education of the region. The standard symphony season includes four Classics Series Concerts plus a Pops Concert, a Holiday concert, four free Youth Concerts for area students, two free Side-by-Side Education Concerts and a free Fourth of July concert in conjunction with the City of Beaumont’s activities.
