Inspiring the Next Generation of Music Lovers

Each year, more than 1,000 local fourth graders experience the magic of live symphonic music through concerts created just for them. Designed to be both entertaining and educational, our Fourth Grade Concerts spark curiosity and ignite a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

Presented in partnership with Bozeman Public Schools and area educators, these special performances align with a pivotal time in students’ musical journey — just as they begin considering which instruments to pursue in their school’s fifth-grade band or orchestra programs.

Held at the Willson Auditorium, the concerts offer an unforgettable introduction ot the sights and sounds of a full symphony orchestra.
