Bridging generations…
Nurturing the present for the future…
through the power of music.

Our Mission

To promote a greater musical understanding in the border community through outreach, education, youth programs, and celebration with eclectic musical offerings and an emphasis on classical music culminating during the summer months.

Each year, the El Paso Society for Musicians of the Future honors and celebrates an outstanding person who has been integral to the support and continuation of the arts in El Paso and the surrounding area through the donation of time, talent, and/or financial support.

A message from our president

“…cultivating the power of music…”

EPSMF programs continue to celebrate music and the talent that we can see emerging and growing in young musicians today.

Our Competition for Young Musicians finalists' performances are recorded live in front of an audience and will stream online for public viewing. The recipients of our Instruments for Young Lives awards will further their music education with new step-up instruments. The OM/NI Competition (Original Music/New Ideas) for young composers continues to receive applications from national and international applicants. We've developed new formats to showcase these new music scores through master classes and performances. Our newest programs, POISE (Pre-Owned Instruments for Symphonic Education) and SINGS (Songs Including New Generation Singers) reach further into the community to be inclusive pf community members with unique needs. Ongoing... the young musicians in our Ambassador Leadership Program (ALPs) have been working safely and creatively to provide outreach to keep us inspired. We continue to move forward, supporting the arts and the sounds of emerging music through the young musicians of our world. We are always in a time of discovery...of creating...of inspiring...of new ways of connecting and sharing with each other. We have found that everyone has a voice, a talent and a connection to music. The power of music has taken us through challenges and change. Come and embrace music with us!
