Bozeman Symphony Seeks to “Keep Music Moving,” Launching $300,000 Annual Fund Campaign

Bozeman, Mont.—The Bozeman Symphony today announced the launch of its annual fundraising campaign, aiming to raise $300,000 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 have pledged to match all donations up to $20,000 through December 31, effectively doubling the impact of community contributions.

Funds raised will support talented musicians, guest artists, and community engagement programs connecting with local schools and underserved areas. By prioritizing educational programs and expanding music access, the Symphony seeks to inspire younger audiences and deepen its impact in the community.

"For nearly six decades, the Bozeman Symphony has done more than fill concert halls—we've created lasting memories and united our community through the 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 through exceptional performances."

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 1,325 subscribers, 19,996 tickets issued, nine unforgettable concerts, and over 9,320 people engaged through community events.
