Minot Symphony Orchestra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minot Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is a program of Minot State University in Minot, North Dakota. Although a separate agency, the university's music department oversees the handling of the orchestra. Maestro Denis Simons, a professor of music at Minot State University, is the orchestra's conductor and has held the position since 1993. Previously, Maestro Simons had served seven years as music director and conductor of the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra.
The Minot Symphony Association supports the orchestra. The Minot Area Council of the Arts (MACA), a local non-profit agency that supports the arts, provides advertising, scheduling assistance, and other assistance to the orchestra. Minot is considered to be the smallest city in the United States that supports a full-sized symphony orchestra.[1]
