The Truman State University Symphony Orchestra comprises approximately 50 student musicians performing approximately 4 times per school year on campus and touring the region occasionally. The orchestra also performs concerts with Truman choral ensembles in major works for chorus and orchestra, and accompanies student soloists on the annual Gold Medal concert. The Missouri Music Educators Association has invited the group as its featured orchestra for the annual conference in Osage Beach three times. Members have also toured internationally to such places as Italy, France, Austria and the Czech Republic.
