Piffaro opens its 30th anniversary season October 2 – 4, 2015 with a romp through the best of two hundred years' worth of repertoire that the ensemble has performed in its three joyous decades of music making. Fans are invited to help curate the concert by voting for their favorite pieces on Piffaro's website: www.piffaro.org. 

The Juneau Symphony was founded in 1962 by Cliff and Gladys Berge. It was first called the Juneau Symphonette, then the Juneau Little Symphony and played its first concert at the Twentieth Century Theater. The orchestra has presented concerts to Juneau and other Southeast community audiences every season since then. In 1976 the Juneau Symphony created its first board of directors and in 1981 received tax-exempt status as a 501(c)3 corporation.
