Mid-Columbia Symphony

Mid-Columbia Symphony Originally formed during World War II, the Mid-Columbia Symphony has been a vital cultural resource for the Mid-Columbia region for over 75 years.

For more than 75 years, the Mid-Columbia Symphony has been a vital cultural resource for the Mid-Columbia region. Originally formed during World War II, primarily from the ranks of Hanford workers with a love for music and a desire for fellowship, the Symphony evolved through the years to become a respected cadre of dedicated, talented amateur artists performing under professional direction. Today

’s Symphony is a fully professional organization, with more than 40 of the region’s finest professional musicians under annual contract and 30 artists from outside the region contracted for individual concerts. Our programming is designed to entertain and enrich the wonderfully diverse population of the Mid-Columbia region. The Symphony produces four to seven concerts annually, frequently contracting with featured guest artists and collaborating with other regional performing arts organizations. Mid-Columbia Symphony musicians also perform for other community events, including operas, festivals, and memorial concerts. As part of our education program, we organize and sponsor an annual Young Artists Competition and feature the winners in one of our concerts each year. Many of the finest musicians in the region were nurtured through this program. Educational outreach is one of our main goals here at the Mid-Columbia Symphony. We strive to maintain a Music in Schools program and work with youth in our Mid-Columbia Youth Orchestras program. Vision
Our vision is for the Mid-Columbia Symphony to be the leading orchestral music organization that educates and inspires our region with live performances. Mission
Our mission is to serve the Mid-Columbia region with live performance of professional quality orchestral music.

As our season comes to a close, we extend our deepest gratitude to our Interim Director Adrienne Fletcher for her inspiring leadership. Her creative vision shaped a season of meaningful themes and captivating repertoire, bringing both heart and artistry to every performance. Through her dedication, she not only united musicians, patrons, and community partners, but also helped guide the symphony toward renewed financial strength and sustainability.

Thank you for leading with passion, purpose, and “Valiant Resilience”—we are all better for it. Our season was a Resounding Success.
