Longevity in the Arts

Longevity is difficult to find in today’s world.  In order to survive and thrive, a non-profit’s programs must be relevant and impact the community, while remaining adaptable and open to change.

Pro Musica’s 2019-20 Season is our 40^th!  Our longevity is attributed to:

• Presenting the highest quality music, in concerts that are open to the public at no charge.
• Providing a robust Arts Education Program benefits students in public and private schools, homeschool students, and adults with limited ability to attend a concert.

While our two foundational principles remain steadfast, Pro Musica seeks opportunities to innovate and try new ideas. Last season’s “Bach-A-Bye-Baby Concert” along with the informal “coffee shop concert” are great examples of programming concepts that reached new audiences.

The 2019-20 Season celebrates Pro Musica’s longevity with a special “Encore Performance Season” that brings some favorite ensembles from past seasons back to Joplin. A special highlight is a double string quartet concert. The season concludes with the Brubeck Brothers Quartet returning to present a program honoring Dave Brubeck’s Centennial – a perfect capstone for our 40^th Season Celebration.

Our Arts Education Program for 2019-20 includes 11 Arts Education Events impacting approximately 2,000 students and adults including every 4^th and 5^th grade student in the Joplin R-8 school district.
