Missoula Symphony Orchestra History
The Missoula Symphony Orchestra (MSO) has a rich and storied history that dates back to 1954, when a group of local musicians, led by conductor Dr. David F. P. C. L. G. H. K. H. H. McGowan, founded the organization to bring the joy of symphonic music to the Missoula community in Montana. Over the years, the MSO has grown from a small ensemble into a full-fledged orchestra, boasting a diverse repertoire that spans classical masterpieces to contemporary works. The orchestra has been a cornerstone of the cultural life in Missoula, providing not only concerts but also educational outreach programs that foster a love for music among young people. The symphony has collaborated with renowned soloists and guest conductors, enhancing its reputation as a prominent musical institution in the region. In its early years, the symphony performed in various venues, but in 1985, the opening of the Dennison Theatre provided a permanent home for the orchestra, allowing for more expansive performances and community engagement. As the orchestra celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2014, it reflected on its significant contributions to the arts in Missoula, solidifying its place in the community's heart.
