Our Story

Mu Omicron recognizes the profound educational, cultural, and personal contributions of orchestral music, and remain dedicated to advancing pedagogical excellence and orchestral instruction. Our mission centers on four pillars: advocating for the orchestral profession, providing forums for the growth and certification of orchestra directors, honoring exemplary leadership and artistic excellence, and facilitating the sharing of resources to ensure the vitality of our membership. We encourage ALL to sign up for Mu Omicron's mentor program, a valuable opportunity to connect, grow, and strengthen our profession together. Additionally, we invite everyone to apply for a FREE clinic at any point throughout the year. We also extend our sincere gratitude to TODA for an outstanding convention and their continued partnership in support of our shared mission.

Membership shall be extended to any individual actively engaged in orchestral music activities — defined as current participation in performance, conducting, administration, or music education — or retired therefrom, provided such individual has demonstrated a sustained commitment to excellence in said field for a period of no less than ten (10) years. Admission to the Chapter shall be granted solely by invitation and shall not otherwise be conferred.
