The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit performing arts initiative in Texarkana, Arkansas, conducted by Marc-André Bougie.[1] Its president is Remica Grey. It was originally created as a non-profit organization consisting of 34 musicians and gave its first performance in April 2006, but has since expanded to 60 professionals covering a wide range of ages.[2] Most performances are given in the Perot Theatre, although the official address is on Hickory Street. The mission of the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra is to pursue, for all, the transformative power of symphonic music through excellence in live performance and education.[3]

The orchestra has also expanded creating the Texarkana Youth Symphony Orchestra who gave their debut concert in December 2007. The Youth Orchestra is open to middle and high school students between the ages of 10 and 19.[4]
