It is the mission of the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra (GJSO) to engage and enrich our community through symphonic music. It is very true that music has the power to heal and to be an agent of positive change. We believe that music is a catalyst that brings people together across all boundaries and has the ability to unite and connect us to the depths of our humanity. The GJSO is proud to be part of a community that takes social justice, equity, and equality seriously and demonstrates that commitment with peace and respect to all people. The GJSO, including our Board of Directors, staff, orchestra members, and volunteers stand in support of inclusion, diversity, equity, access and all those who search for it. We pledge to be representative of our community, reflecting its true make-up, including race, ethnicity and cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, disabilities, education, geography, and religion. While this will always be a work in progress, we pledge this throughout our organization, our patrons, and in our programming.
