ABOUT BJSO: The Beloit Janesville Symphony Orchestra, now in its sixty-third year, is the professional symphony orchestra of Rock County. In addition to its series of classical and pops concerts, each year it performs Independence Day concerts in Janesville and Beloit, which are offered free to our audience. Beginning as a volunteer community orchestra in 1953 at Beloit College, it has grown into a respected regional orchestra in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
The mission of the BJSO is to serve as a major cultural and educational resource to southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois by providing a rich variety of symphonic music and related cultural activities to the citizens, schools and other institutions in the area.
Music Director Dr. Rob Tomaro is also active in our school systems, bringing his original educational programs “Composing Kids” and “Conducting Kids” to our middle schools.
Founded by Lewis Dalvit in 1953, the BJSO baton was passed on to Dr. Crawford Gates in 1963 and, in 1999, to Dr. Robert Tomaro.
