Empowerment Through Music.

Missoula Crescendo Club started as a philanthropic arm of Grow Music Missoula and became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in August 2025. Since its launch in summer 2022, the organization has served over 300 children throughout the Missoula community.


Mission
Our mission is to provide access, resources, and opportunities to thrive through creative expression.

Culture
Our culture celebrates connection—between students, teachers, families, and the community, ensuring that music is not an individual path but a collective experience.


Vision
We imagine a future where music and creativity are embraced as forces for healing and transformation, building vibrant communities where all people can flourish.

Missoula Crescendo Club admits, welcomes, and celebrates people of all races, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic status to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available through our programming.

Support from the Los Angeles Philharmonic

The Missoula Crescendo Club is proud to be partially funded by the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Partners in Music regranting initiative. Over the past three years, this initiative has awarded $5,000 annually to Grow Music Missoula, providing essential seed funding that helped launch and sustain the early development of the Crescendo Club.

We are deeply grateful for the LA Phil’s generous support and belief in the power of community-based music education.
