Long Bay Symphony Orchestra

Long Bay Symphony Orchestra

The Long Bay Symphony Orchestra, was founded by Dr. Diana Swanner-Scroggins in 1988. It is named after the long bay that streches sixty miles along the North and South Carolina coasts. A professional orchestra, its home is Myrtle Beach, SC, but its influence reaches a wide audience area. The Symphony has both a full orchestra and a chamber orchestra series each year. In addition, the Symphony has played with many renowned artists and groups including, most recently, the Moody Blues.

Dr. Won-Mo Kim served as the first music director/conductor for the symphony. Dr. Charles Jones Evans has served in that position since 1996. Under his direction, the Long Bay Symphony has become a cultural icon in the region.

The Symphony is also dedicated to educational programming and the training of tomorrow's musical artists. The Long Bay Symphony's Youth Orchestra serves this purpose well. Jessica B. Miller is the current manager of the Youth Orchestra.
