The Miami Symphony Orchestra

The Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO), now in its historic 36th season, is Miami’s Official Symphony Orchestra of the City of Miami and a valuable contributor to Miami’s cultural fabric. With 90 professional musicians selected from around the world, MISO represents the exceptional talent and diversity that mirrors South Florida’s international and multicultural richness. With national and world premieres becoming more common, MISO is a source of growing local pride and support.

2020 was a life-changing year. The global pandemic impacted us all negatively, leaving us uncertain of the future. We were shaken by the pandemic, but it only made us stronger than ever before.

From its origin, The Miami Symphony Orchestra has been composed of a diverse group of musicians and staff. Throughout the years, MISO has had musicians of many national and racial backgrounds: Afro-descendants, Asian, American, European, and Hispanic/Latin. Furthermore, MISO concerts and performances feature music from all around the world!

MISO stands for diversity, inclusion, and equality. No matter who we are or where we come from, we stand together to achieve MISO’s mission of offering high-quality musical programs and using music to make an impact in our diverse, multicultural community!

On July 4th, 2022, Mayor Francis Suárez proclaimed MISO as the official symphony orchestra of the city of Miami! In his statements to the local media, the mayor expressed:

“ As a Miamian, I am proud of the wide cultural offer of our city and the Miami Symphony Orchestra is a fundamental part of the local culture”.

“ We are extremely honored to receive this recognition and to be acknowledged for our local impact”. Said Maestro Eduardo Marturet.
