About This Event
Derby Day 2026 is within sight! This award-winning annual gala is the major fundraising effort of the Brazos Valley Symphony Society, a non-profit organization that supports and maintains the high artistic standards of the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra. The Society promotes cultural and music education opportunities for our community and our children. Proceeds from the evening support the Symphony and help make possible the many concerts and children’s programs available to the Brazos Valley community.
