Juneau Symphony

Juneau Symphony

The Juneau Symphony is a semi-professional symphony orchestra located in Juneau, Alaska.

History

The Juneau Symphony was created in 1962 by Cliff Berge and was self-conducted until 1982, when a professional director was needed. Mel Flood filled that role until his retirement in 1999. Peabody Institute graduate Kyle Wiley Pickett was subsequently hired, a position he still fills today.

Today

The Juneau Symphony has expanded in recent years, featuring a part-time administrator/executive director, over 80 musicians, a full-fledged and multi-tiered student symphony network, and has been advertising out of town for its performances aiming for a more regional audience. The symphony also brings in guest musicians from Seattle and the Pacific Northwest for its concerts for instrumentation where local or regional talent does not exist or suffice.
