Welcome to the website of the Marshall Symphony Orchestra. The Marshall Symphony Orchestra is proud to present our 61st year of “Celebrating Memories Through Music.” This season’s concert series will bring back many memories from yesteryear and create new ones to reflect on into the future. We will kick off our season under the tent covered street of downtown Marshall with our annual “Jeans ‘n Classics Band” concert on September 15, 2012. Michael Shotton, a crowd favorite, along with Gavin Hope will be returning to Marshall to entertain the fans along with the Marshall Symphony. This year’s concert will be a collaboration of Classic Rock and Classic R & B. Over the past give years, we have received many requests for Michael to return and sing a few songs that bring back many great memories and ones that we like to sing along to. Michael will perform selections from The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, U2, Queen and Kiss; the Classic Rock genre. Gavin will entertain us with chart popping hits from Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire, Prince, Stevie Wonder and the Best of Classic R & B Hits. This event is a cooperative venture with the Marshall Regional Arts Council with assistance from Marshall Symphony League, The City of Marshall, Main Street, downtown businesses and over 100 volunteers. This is definitely a community wide effort to encourage the arts in Marshall and Harrison County. On November 12, 2012 our concert will be dedicated “In Memory” of longtime board member and friend Jim Taylor. The concert will be “A Night at the Movies: with a tribute to John Williams including music from movies such as Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Super Man, Harry Potter and ET.
