Every concert that the MSO hosts is made possible by the behind-the-scenes work of so many hands! And we are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of young men and women from the Marshall Jr. Symphony League come out to be greeters and helpers alongside us.

With so many moving parts at our season opening concert, their help both greeting people before the concert and with our reception following made the evening run smoothly and effortlessly! We are so blessed by these young people and so encouraged by their desire to serve and support the arts in our community.

Kinga Augustyn’s pre-concert tour with the MSO also included a stop at East Texas Baptist University last week. This was Ms. Augustyn’s second visit to ETBU, as she also visited in the fall of 2025. Kinga was able to perform for and engage with students and professors, answering questions about style, collaboration, the discipline of a professional musician, and sharing advice with ETBU’s Music majors as they contemplate their own unique paths and futures.

Thank you to ETBU for continuing to invite and host the MSO’s guest musicians to campus, and helping us in our mission of making the symphonic experience accessible to all!

We were so happy to be able to coordinate an opportunity for Kinga Augustyn, Violinist to perform for and speak to students at the Marshall Jr. High last week. Kinga introduced the students to pieces by two Polish composers, answered questions about being a professional musician, and her own journey with the violin, and closed out with a piece composed by the MSO’s very own Kermit Poling.

Oh and she confirmed that yes, indeed, practicing scales is vital for any musician! Music to Dr. Ortiz’s ears who is eager to see his students embrace the scales after all!

Thank you so much to the students of Marshall Jr. High, Marshall ISD Visual Arts, and Melissa Hammers, who made this visit possible! Your hospitality, the student questions and engagements were wonderful.

American Landscapes with Kinga Augustyn, Violinist was a dream! The Texas premier of Kermit B Poling’s To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond was such a moving experience! Kinga Augustyn’s mastery of Barber’s Violin Concerto, op. 14 was stunning. And Copeland’s Suite from Appalachian Spring was the perfect way to end the night! An auspicious and inspiring beginning to celebrate 75 years of the MSO! Thank you to all of our patrons and supporters who continue to make it possible to bring such incredible symphonic performances to Marshall and East Texas!
