Diversity Statement

We take great pride in the musicians who perform with The Miami Symphony Orchestra. Because of them, MISO can provide high-quality musical performances to our community. MISO musicians have the opportunity to perform in a variety of venues with world-renowned guest musicians! South Florida is a region that is home to many cultures.

Through the art and love of music, we bring people from all walks of life together. Our creative, high-quality performances are designed to enrich and educate our community. This has been possible thanks to the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, Miami Design District, and many other supporters. From its origin, The Miami Symphony Orchestra has been composed of a diverse group of musicians and staff.

Throughout the years, MISO has had musicians of many national and racial backgrounds: Afro-descendants, Asian, American, European, and Hispanic/Latin. Furthermore, MISO concerts and performances feature music from all around the world! MISO stands for diversity, inclusion, and equality. No matter who we are or where we come from, we stand together to achieve MISO’s mission of offering high-quality musical programs and using music to make an impact in our diverse, multicultural community!
