Our Musicians

The BSO has very talented musicians who are primarily from Kern County. There are a few who enjoy playing with the BSO from outside the area.

We are currently have two open chairs: Principal Flute and Harp. Auditions for those chairs, as well as sub positions for any other instrument, will be held September 30 and October 1, 2019. Please contact the BSO office (661-323-7928 or info@bsonow.org) for further information.
