What an incredible few weeks it has been! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Bozeman for In Practice 2026. Your willingness to share ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and build relationships made this year’s conference an inspiring reminder of the strength of Montana’s orchestral community. We are especially excited to welcome Ron Baldwin, the Chair of the Helena Symphony Board of Directors, to the MASO Board of Directors and extend our congratulations to all of our newly elected and returning board members. As we reflect on a successful conference, we’re already looking ahead by continuing planning for the inaugural Montana Symphony Summit, pursuing new grant opportunities, and supporting our member organizations through statewide collaboration. Thank you for helping make MASO a vibrant and growing community, and we can’t wait to see what we accomplish together in the months ahead.
