Beaufort Symphony Orchestra, Inc.

Each season the orchestra performs a classical concert in October, a Christmas concert in December, another classical concert in March, a Pops concert in May, and a free concert at the Waterfront in early June. Two performances are given for each concert except the Waterfront, which is performed only once. Devyatkin, who, as artistic director, programs all the concerts, explains, "I don't choose music because I think it will impress people or because of its intellectual nature. I just play a piece because I have a good gut feeling about it. I play the kind of stuff that, if I heard it was going to be played on the radio, I'd say 'Cool… leave it on this station.'"
