The mission of The Jefferson City Symphony Orchestra is twofold. The first objective is to provide the mid-Missouri community with symphonic concerts of classical music literature from many cultures. The second objective is to provide symphonic performance opportunities for middle-school through high school age string students. The symphony therefore is like a one-room schoolhouse with approximately two-thirds of the musicians being adults and the remaining one-third being students.
The Jefferson City Symphony Orchestra receives financial support from the following sources:
Jefferson City Community Concert Association
Lincoln University Share in the Arts Series
Capital City Council on the Arts
Missouri Arts Council
