SEISO update on Iowa Wesleyan University

MT. PLEASANT — Despite uncertainty for the future, the South East Iowa Symphony Orchestra expresses gratitude for support from the Iowa Wesleyan University Board of Trustees.

Following the closure of Iowa Wesleyan University in Mt. Pleasant earlier this year, the Iowa Wesleyan Board of Trustees and its representatives have continued to support the SEISO.

They have graciously allowed us to store our equipment, music library, office supplies, and archives on campus during this period of uncertainty, which have enabled us to continue operations with limited disruptions.

Although the plans for the university are still unclear, we are grateful to have a clear line of communication with the Board of Trustees and their representatives regarding the future of our relationship with the campus and the IW Chapel, one of Southeast Iowa’s premiere performance venues.

We would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the Iowa Wesleyan Board of Trustees and its representatives for more than 70 years of unwavering support and their continued efforts during this difficult transition period.

Their actions are a testament to our enduring relationship and their dedication to the arts and the overall well-being of Mt. Pleasant, its citizens, and Southeast Iowa.

We will continue to provide the community and our supporters with updates as they develop.
