Education & Outreach

The Missoula Symphony Association is committed to providing music education to our community.

Vision statement: That students and their families across the state and region are inspired and resourced for musical endeavors; and that every student who picks up an instrument in the Missoula-area has a connection to the Symphony.

Mission statement: The mission of the Education and Outreach programs shall be to provide music education to our community through shared experiences and performance opportunities.  These shall be presented by highly skilled performers and educators both from our own community and around the world.

If you have questions about any these programs, please contact our Education Coordinator, Sylvia Allen Oman.
