The Symphony of Southeast Texas (SOST) has a 70-year history of providing outstanding music and grand performances in Beaumont.
Formerly the Beaumont Symphony Orchestra, the 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.
