MOSSO is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, which was organized by the musicians in 2021 to produce and perform concerts in Greater Springfield and Western Massachusetts. To date, they have presented their musicians in pop-up concerts throughout the area; performances with local ensembles, including the Springfield Jazz and Roots Festival; two full orchestral performances with Maestro Kevin Rhodes in Springfield's Symphony Hall; a Sondheim tribute with full orchestra and singers at Symphony Hall; and a recent series of chamber ensemble concerts in Longmeadow, Westfield, Springfield, and Blandford.
As part of a memorandum of understanding between the musicians' union, Local 171 AFM, and the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, MOSSO will change its name to Springfield Chamber Players over the next few months.
