SEISOMar2016-5622.jpg

The mission of the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra is to promote quality orchestral experiences for our regional community and musicians by providing live performances, educational opportunities and rural outreach programs for all ages. 

Objectives include cultural enrichment and delivery of its services for a minimal fee or free of charge so that it remains accessible to everyone in Southeast Iowa.  The SEISO, organized in 1950, is recognized as one of Iowa's most prominent community-based orchestras.

SEISO is supported with boards of directors in 3 cities: Burlington, Mt. Pleasant and Ottumwa.  It reaches 12,000 people every year, has over 70 board members, 100+ volunteers and more than 70 musicians.
