Since 2016, we have played over 90 concerts in 18 unique venues.
The Rocky Mountain Symphony Orchestra seeks to grow and serve communities of Orchestral Music lovers in small towns in the Shadows of the Rockies by delivering engaging Orchestral experiences in unique ways and places.
"If your kids are dancing in the aisles at an RMSO Concert, we know one thing for sure: We're doing our job properly."
The Rocky Mountain Symphony Orchestra was formed in June 2016. By March 2017, the Orchestra received its Alberta Non-Profit registration as the Rocky Mountain Symphony Society. In January 2019, the Rocky Mountain Symphony Society was granted Charitable Status.
“We believe that culture is not exclusive to big cities. We think that Folks who choose to live in Small Towns should still have access to a Live Symphony Orchestra.”
The RMSO is governed by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.
