About Bloomington Symphony Orchestra
The mission of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is to bring music lovers and accomplished musicians together to experience inspirational performances of orchestral music, with community as our cornerstone.
Our vision is to be a vibrant, creative, and ever-evolving ensemble that is recognized as a leader in the Twin Cities for its accomplished volunteer musicians, capacity audiences, and an engaged community. The BSO is committed to the values of Excellence, Collaboration, and Dedication.
Led by Music Director Manny Laureano, the BSO is made up of 75 volunteer, dues-paying musicians from all around the Twin Cities. Many of our members are non-music professionals who love to play music in their spare time.
The BSO performs four ticketed season concerts from October to April, as well as free outdoor summer concerts and appears at the annual Bloomington Orchestra Festival, including a side-by-side performance with Bloomington High School string players. In 2023, to support and engage with the community, we started sending BSO musicians out to coach Bloomington Middle and High School string students.
