Musicians of the Spokane Symphony We are the Musicians of the Spokane Symphony Orchestra in Spokane, WA. We perform and teach around the Inland Northwest.

Subscribe to our newsletter here: "http://eepurl.com/hiSyzP" Welcome to the Spokane Symphony Musicians page. This page offers you a behind the scenes look at what we're all about. If you'd like to know more about who we are, what exactly it is we do, or how and why we do it, you've come to the right place. Our orchestra is an unusually diverse group. While many of us have longstanding family connections to the area, and an increasing number of musicians have relocated to Spokane from all around the nation, expressly to be part of our terrific ensemble. As a whole, we comprise your symphony orchestra, and we serve our region in a variety of ways. You can find us performing together, on the stage of the Fox and in other venues around town, as well as individually, producing our own recitals or faculty concerts. We also bring our skills and passion to bear by providing music instruction throughout the area. Above all, we endeavor to inspire and enrich our community, delivering the powerful beauty of great music to the Inland Northwest.

Summer is almost over, and the slow tick tock to our big season-opening weekend of Parks concerts continues…But if the agony of waiting until Labor Day is too much to handle, fear not, because our musicians have you covered!
Spokane Brass Works will be playing a concert at Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition tomorrow evening, August 25th at 6:00 PM (*NOTE FIXED STARTING TIME* - poetry readings and other fun things starting a few minutes before).

Spokane Symphony Assistant Concertmaster Jeanne Bourgeois Swanson has entranced our audiences with her violin playing for 14 years, but now she’s capturing excited attention for her baking prowess. She just took 1st AND 2nd prize in the Flavored category of the Shortbread Contest at the Scottish Highland Games!

It’s been an exciting week for theater-goers in Spokane, with the smash hit musical Hadestown playing at the First Interstate Center. Their traveling performers are stunningly talented, but, sadly, not immune to the realities of Covid. Fortunately Spokane is home to local musicians who were able to step in! You can see Spokane Symphony musicians Mateusz Wolski and Stephen Swanson (the ”Swanski Wolskson Twins”) on stage and in costume playing with this incredible show through the end of this weekend!

Happy 4th, everyone! Hope to see you all at Riverfront Park tonight for patriotic music and fireworks!

SSO cellist Louise Butler is in the news! Those of us who hate mowing can rejoice, because Louise has proven that there are far more natural (and photogenic!) uses for a yard than to have a lawn.

Louise Butler ditched her lawnmower years ago. She doesn't like the chore, so over time, Butler pulled out patches of grass near her South Hill home to replace them with various wildflowers and perennials.

The Upscale Sale is underway, and you’ve still got nearly two hours to get here if you want to experience “first choice” day! But you’ll have until the end of the weekend to find your treasures and benefit the Spokane Symphony. We can’t thank the amazing Spokane Symphony Associates enough for the amazing work they do. They’re such an amazing organization that some of our own musicians couldn’t resist joining the fun! 2/3 of the Marshall family’s SSO players, Lynne and James, are here to volunteer today, and more will be here through the weekend.

We musicians would love to hear from you! If you’re a fan of any part of what it is we do (whether it’s how immaculately we render the legato of septuplet arpeggiation in the later repertoire of the Third Viennese School or if you just like the concert tailcoats) let us know via the survey link below!
