Manchester Symphony Orchestra

The Manchester Symphony Orchestra serves to produce high quality musical performances, engage in local and regional outreach, and to enrich the cultural lives of its patrons.
The MSO was founded in 1939 through a partnership with the citizens of Wabash County and then Manchester College. We strive to be a core component of the rich culture of performing arts in North Manchester, Wabash County, and regional communities. To that end:
We will reach out to the community and local schools where possible
We will seek new and innovative partnerships
We will seek broader sources of support to sustain these initiatives
We will sustain our close relationship with Manchester University, both in North Manchester and in Fort Wayne.
As the MSO moves into the future, its members and its supporters in the Manchester Symphony Society can assert "The MSO and its supporters make a difference in the cultural and economic health of the region."
2021-2022 Season Concerto Competition
The Manchester Symphony Orchestra invites vocalists, pianists, and instrumentalists to our 2021-2022 season concerto competition. Competitors must be enrolled in a high school, home school program, college, or university during the fall semester of 2021 in order to participate.
Sponsor Music or An Orchestra Chair
The music for each concert can be very expensive. We count on members of the community to underwrite the costs of each piece. Do you have a favorite composer? Do you like holiday music? Or do you just want to help with the costs of music rental? This is the chance for you to sponsor a piece of music that the MSO will perform in concert. Your name will be printed on the sponsor page and on the main program page. Co-sponsoring is allowed and encouraged.
Meet the Musicians
The musicians of the Manchester Symphony Orchestra are a unique assemblage of students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Manchester University, as well as community members and other professional musicians from the region.
Support the MSO
The MSO would not be thriving as we are without the wonderful support from our donors! By becoming a patron of the Manchester Symphony Society, you have an opportunity to show how much you appreciate what we do. The MSO's Business Partners enable the Orchestra to maintain the highest standards of artistic excellence. They nurture our county's future by supporting learning, access, and training programs for youth.
