MISSOULA SYMPHONY SCHOLARSHIP FUND

“I used to say music was a form of expression, a way of conveying human feeling and emotion. While that is still well and fully true, real music is so much more. It is soul. It is life.”

Continuing the grand tradition of the Missoula Symphony Guild, the Missoula Symphony Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing scholarships for outstanding University of Montana music students who play in the Missoula Symphony Orchestra or sing in the Missoula Symphony Chorale.

This year, the Missoula Symphony Association will award more than $20,000 in scholarships to eight talented young musicians. This commitment is possible thanks to the generosity of the individuals listed below. Every penny of their donations goes directly to scholarships. Our 2021-2022 scholarship recipients are noted on the Orchestra Roster with a “+” sign.
