Established in 1969, the Starkville-Mississippi State University Symphony Association (The Symphony) has spent the last 55 years providing the Starkville and Golden Triangle communities with high quality performances incorporating musicians from Mississippi State University (MSU), the Golden Triangle area, and other areas across the state. The Symphony has been committed to serving its community with free concerts that introduce new genres of music to its audiences.
