Bozeman Symphony Announces 2021/2022 Season

The Bozeman Symphony's 2021/22 concert season is unlike any before, with an incredibly diverse range of programs featuring two world premieres and timeless classical favorites.

Music Director Norman Huynh has announced the expansion of the Symphony's concert offerings with three packages, including the Classical Series (6 concerts), a new series titled Bozeman Symphony Presents (2 concerts), and an All-Access Package (all 8 concerts).

"The music featured this season are works that I have carried close to my heart since the beginning of my career. Some of these works carried me through much of last year. Through this music, I found solace and joy, and I can't wait to share that with our community," said Huynh.

Never before in the Symphony's 54-year history has the organization provided this amount of programming for the community. Each concert will feature incredibly talented guest artists, more than any previous season, many of whom are making their Montana debut, including Karen Gomyo, violin, Demondrae Thurman, euphonium, Sidney Outlaw, baritone, and many more.

"Each concert will be an interesting experience through the soundscapes of different composers. There is a unique pairing of standard repertoire complemented by music from our time that will keep our audience at the edge of their seat," said Huynh.
