Greater Akron Musical Association

Formed in 1952, the Greater Akron Musical Association enriches the lives of audiences, musicians, and our community through exceptional symphonic music, and meaningful, collaborative and educational programming that welcomes, connects, and engages a broad and diverse regional community. GAMA’s mission is realized through the operation of the Akron Symphony Orchestra, Akron Youth Symphony and Philharmonic, Akron Symphony Chorus, and offering several special outreach and education programs such as the Carnegie Hall Link Up program and the Concerts for Kids series. During a typical season, more than 100,000 individuals—including approximately 8,000 young people—experience the work of GAMA through concerts, educational programs, and radio broadcasts.
