The mission of the Steamboat Symphony Orchestra is to promote orchestral music in the Yampa Valley by providing professional quality performances and educational experiences for community musicians of all ages.

This is accomplished by providing an outstanding resident orchestra with a community component to provide entertainment and education to the region and by offering a high quality educational program to foster the love of the art-form of classical music to residents of all ages.

What began in the autumn of 1991 as a charming community ensemble has transformed in the last several years into a thriving orchestra with a majority of local professional core players with a surprising depth of experience. SSO includes a Woodwind Quintet and String Quartet, which perform regularly at special events on behalf of SSO.
