TCC Announces Signature Symphony Farewell Season – Signature Symphony at TCC Tulsa Community College has announced the 2026-2027 season will be the final season for the Signature Symphony at TCC. The Signature Symphony was formed in 1978 and moved to TCC in 1996 as the professional orchestra-in-residence for TCC’s VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education.

“Incredible. One of my favorite concerts I’ve experienced at Signature Symphony,” said one response to the survey in Saturday night’s concert program, and we agree!

Thanks to everyone who shared this phenomenal evening with us, and bravo tutti to all our musicians and guest artist Lance Bryant for an absolutely breathtaking performance 💜

We loved seeing so much joy in the audience, too! If you know our photographer, Resolusean got a photo of you or your group and you don’t see it here, keep an eye on your email for the album later this week 📸

Lance Bryant, our guest artist for tomorrow’s concert, visited Tulsa Community College | TCC music students in class today to chat and play a little jazz 🎷

Last evening, Greenwood Rising was honored to host Signature Symphony at TCC’s First Chair Society for their season kickoff reception!

We enjoyed hearing from Artistic Director Scott Seaton about the exciting performances planned for the upcoming season, including their first performance, New World, New Voices, coming up this Saturday, the 19th. Tickets for this performance are still available on VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education's website.

We’re grateful for Signature Symphony’s partnership and look forward to celebrating their incredible season ahead. Wishing the entire team a wonderful performance season!

Thanks, Joie Bettenhausen for having us on Living Oklahoma with Lance Bryant today! We can’t wait for this weekend’s concert!

Our season opens this Saturday with Valerie Coleman's "Umoja Unbound," which is such a fun piece!

This is one version of Coleman's Umoja (the Swahili word for Unity), about which she says, “Umoja has seen the creation of many versions, that are like siblings to one another, similar in many ways, but each with a unique voice that is informed by Coleman’s ever-evolving creativity and perspective.” To read more about Umoja, visit https://www.valeriecoleman.com/works/umoja---anthem-of-unity
