Now entering its 58th season, the Bozeman Symphony announces its 2025-26 concert season: Music that Moves Us . . . to Join Together. Norman Huynh’s sixth season as Music Director offers an exhilarating mix of beloved classical masterpieces, a vibrant new commission, and unforgettable guest artists.
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the Symphony will celebrate the heart and soul of American music with three Sounds of America programs featuring exceptional composers, music, and musicians.
“The Sounds of America series is a celebration of our nation’s relatively young yet vibrant musical history,” said Maestro Huynh. Shaped by our rich cultural melting pot, the music born in this country is as diverse as the people who call it home. I’m excited to share just a small part of this uniquely American soundscape with our community in the upcoming season.”
Another highlight of the season will be the world premiere of Carnival of the Nearly Extinct Animals by acclaimed American composer Stephanie Ann Boyd, co-commissioned by the Bozeman Symphony.
The season also features a dazzling roster of renowned musicians. Featured guest artists include violinist Hannah Ji, cellist Jonathan Swensen, pianist Michelle Cann, baritone Lester Lynch, tenor Terrence Chin-Loy, and the Bozeman Symphony’s own stars: horn players Madeleine Folkerts and Elizabeth Schmidt, and clarinetist Wendy Bickford.
Whether a longtime patron or attending for the first time, the season offers something for everyone with seven Classical Series concerts, two Bozeman Symphony Presents Series performances, and a Bozeman Symphonic Choir concert.
