Meet The Musicians
The musicians of the Manchester Symphony Orchestra are a unique assemblage of students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Manchester University, as well as community members and other professional musicians from the region.
Anyone who is interested in participating in the Manchester Symphony Orchestra should contact Debra Lynn at (260) 982-5296. Students selected for membership will enroll in Music 140 and receive academic credit if desired. Scholarships are available for students who are wind, percussion, or string players.
