Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Education, Symphony Orchestras
Mission: To be recognized for musical passion and excellence, engaging our communities through innovation and education to inspire and enrich lives.
Programs: Serving as an anchor to muskegon's arts community for 77 years, wms has assisted in the recent renaissance of muskegon's business district by maintaining its downtown offices and helping populate the city streets and businesses during concerts and other events. This promotes a more vibrant place to live, work and play. Wms truly believes that classical music is for everyone and through that expression we continually are inspired to find new ways to connect to our community.
the west michigan symphony presents the link up program which pairs the orchestra with 4th grade classes for a yearlong, hands-on music curriculum culminating in a spring concert at the frauenthal theater reaching 4,600 students from 54 elementary schools in six counties annually. Wms also has a children's choir that provides training and performance experience to school-aged children throughout the lakeshore communities. The choir performs at wms concerts and independent concerts in the community.
