The Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra is a famous regional orchestra that calls Bismarck its home.

The orchestra consists of approximately 80 local and regional musicians trained in classical and modern symphonic music, and it performs nine concerts per season, including five fully classical concerts and a popular three-concert pops series. Led by Music Director Dr. Beverly Everett, who is the orchestra’s third musical director in its 36-year history, the BMSO is proud to have worked with some of the world’s top musicians, including Martina Filjak, Aaron Meyer, and Korliss Uecker.

Renowned for its strong commitment to collaborative projects, the BMSO has had several large-scale collaborations with companies such as the Bismarck-Mandan Civic Chorus and the Bel Canto Children's Chorus. Committed to improving the cultural life of Western North Dakota through creative, exciting, and artistically thrilling concerts, the BMSO launched a new concerts series called "Rush Hour" concerts, featuring weekday hour-long chamber performances.
