Welcome to Rochester Music Guild

For over 40 years, the Rochester Music Guild has worked to promote and enhance music in our community.  As part of this effort, the Guild:

· Offers an annual scholarship competition to young musicians and music scholarships to outstanding Rochester high school music students.

· Supports the Rochester Symphony Orchestra and Chorale (RSOC) in various capacities, such as sponsoring orchestra chairs, hosting receptions and arranging ushers for concerts. RMG also supports the Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestras (SEMYO) in their annual Piano Concerto Competition and concert.

· Supplies volunteers for community music events (Radiothon, !HoNk*SquEaK*ScRaTcH*BooM!).

· Organizes and participates in fundraising projects such as the Garden of Note and Herberger Community Days.

· Presents our informative Lunch & Learn programs to enrich musical knowledge.

· Sponsors periodic educational events for the community.

· Co-sponsors Young Musician Recitals in collaboration with the Rochester Area Keyboard Club, and the Southeastern Minnesota Suzuki Association (SEMSA).

· Advocates for Rochester area non-profit music organizations. The Rochester Music Guild is pleased to be part of a vibrant musical community. We encourage you to check out the following websites.
