About Us

The Mason Orchestral Society serves the greater Lansing/Mid-Michigan area by providing opportunities for local musicians to further hone their music skills, and providing quality music performances to the public. The society has historically supported three different orchestras, the Mason Symphony, the Mason Philharmonic and the Mason Chamber Orchestra. We currently operate the Mason Symphony Orchestras and organize chamber performances as the Mason Chamber Symphony Players, while we assess additional opportunities to provide a learning space for developing performers.

The Mason Orchestral Society operates for charitable and educational purposes as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Mason Symphony Orchestra

For advanced and intermediate players, the Mason Symphony is a full orchestra performing 3-5 concerts throughout the season. Repertoire can be challenging, although we do not wish to discourage interested players from sitting in on a trial rehearsal. Members of the Symphony will occasionally play smaller chamber ensemble pieces.

The Mason Symphony also honors a past member, Pat Clark, by holding a concerto competition annually to recognize young and rising talent in the mid-Michigan area.
