Our Mission
The mission of the Liberty Symphony Orchestra is to enhance the quality of life in the greater Liberty community by promoting the enjoyment and appreciation of classical music.
About LSO
In 1971, the Liberty Symphony Orchestra was born in Liberty, Missouri, through the efforts of its founding conductor, Dr. Phillip C. Posey, and the assistance of William Jewell College. Each year, the Symphony presents a series of four regular concerts and an educational concert for area youth.
Originally a small college and community orchestra, the Liberty Symphony has grown into a mature symphonic ensemble with complete instrumentation and a growing command of the world's great literature. More than 60 professional and amateur musicians, representing Liberty and virtually every community in the northern metropolitan area, comprise an ensemble dedicated to the finest in symphonic performance.
We invite you, your family and friends to help build stronger community by becoming part of the oldest cultural arts organization in Liberty.
