Bozeman Symphony Seeks to “Keep the Music Moving,” Launching $250,000 Annual Fund Campaign

Bozeman, Mont.—The Bozeman Symphony today announced the launch of its annual fundraising campaign, aiming to raise $250,000 to support its mission to engage, unite, and uplift the human experience in Montana through music and the arts. Local philanthropists Tim and Mary Barnard and State Farm Insurance have generously pledged to match all donations up to $30,000 through January 30, 2026.

Funds raised will support the Symphony’s talented musicians, guest artists, and community engagement programs that connect with local schools and underserved areas. By prioritizing educational initiatives and expanding music access, the Symphony seeks to inspire a variety of audiences and deepen its impact across the region.

“For nearly six decades, the Bozeman Symphony has done more than fill concert halls—we’ve brought people together through the unifying and transformative power of music,” said Music Director Norman Huynh. “From a child’s first symphony experience to lifelong music lovers discovering new works, we continue to enrich lives and strengthen our community through music that inspires, uplifts, and connects us all.”

Ticket sales currently cover only 37% of the Symphony’s operating costs, making community support essential to its work. Last season, the Symphony’s reach expanded with 1,338 subscribers, 23,795 tickets issued, 35 unforgettable concerts, and more than 10,000 people engaged through community events.
