Big Vision Conversations & rainy days ☔🎻

Today, the Pro Musica Board gathered at the annual board meeting at Crowder College Advanced Training & Technical Center in Joplin for several hours of exciting planning and collaboration surrounding the 2026–2027 season. From new marketing materials and special donor events to season programming and free world-class concerts coming to the Four States community, the energy in the room was inspiring.

So many exciting announcements are coming over the next six weeks, and we cannot wait to share what’s ahead for Pro Musica and our community.

The Power of Music. The Heart of a Community.

What a beautiful evening celebrating young musical talent and the future of the arts at Joplin High School. 🎶✨

Pro Musica was honored to present the very first Cynthia H. Schwab Legacy Scholarship tonight, recognizing a graduating student for exceptional musical talent, artistic dedication, and a passion for advancing classical chamber music.

This scholarship was created to honor Cynthia H. Schwab’s lasting legacy and her love for bringing world-class music and inspiration to our community. We are excited to see this scholarship continue supporting the next generation of young artists for years to come.

A special thank you to our local donors for supporting these opportunities and the Pro Musica Board Members volunteering their time to make an impact in young musicians lives and attending this meaningful event.

We look forward to continuing to invest resources in free chamber music events, music education, and opportunities for students across our region. 💛🎻

Last night was one of those moments where music simply takes over. The Hermitage Piano Trio filled the room with beauty, reminding us all why chamber music matters so deeply in our community.

Pro Musica’s free chamber concerts matter because they open the door for everyone including students discovering their passion, families experiencing live music together, and for lifelong dedicated arts and music community members… music has a way of connecting every generation in the same moment.

To our incredible audience, our generous donors and grant partners, and the dedicated Pro Musica Board of Directors - Thank You - for the passion, support, and belief that make nights like this possible free to the four-state area.

We are grateful for every note… and every person who made it happen. 🎶

This morning was something special. 🎻✨The Hermitage Piano Trio spent time at a free outreach event with over 100 orchestra students from multiple Joplin schools, and it was nothing short of inspiring.

They didn’t just perform - they connected. Through thoughtful Q&A, shared stories, and genuine kindness, they gave these young musicians a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to live a life through music.

You could feel it in the room… student curiosity turning into confidence, and interest turning into passion. These young musical students didn’t just learn - they experienced something that will stay with them for years to come.

Moments like this are where sparks are lit… and futures begin. 🎶

Now entering their second decade, the United States-based Hermitage Piano Trio has solidified its place as one of the world’s leading piano trios, garnering multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations and receiving both audience and press accolades for their performances that The Washington Post singled out for “such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.”

The Trio, founded in 2011, is a champion of immense repertoire ranging from the works of the great European tradition to more contemporary American pieces. Hallmarks of the Hermitage Piano Trio are their impeccable musicianship, sumptuous sound and interpretative range, which have led to demand for many repeat performances.
