Missoula Symphony Association - Inspired music in an inspired place

The Missoula Symphony Association brings beautiful music to life.  Their regular concert schedule includes five scheduled symphony/orchestra performances every year.  In addition to the regular concert season, every year the orchestra performs an enormous free outdoor Summer Concert in August in downtown Missoula, performs two Youth Concerts each year for 2,000 fourth grade students, performs a sold-out annual Family Concert, and provides educational performances in Missoula schools and in outlying communities.  During the Winter 2008 term, MOLLI partnered with Darko Butorac, John Driscoll, and the Missoula Symphony to bring a behind the scenes look at how the symphony is produced to MOLLI members.  This short complimentary class featured two lecture classes with Mr. Butorac followed by a class that featured a rehearsal of the chorus which MOLLI members were able view.  During intermission and after class Mr. Butorac curteously allowed curious members to interrogate him regarding the inner workings of the Symphony.
