About Us:

Ogden Symphony Ballet Association (OSBA) is a community arts non-profit dedicated to promoting classical music and dance in the Greater Ogden area. We believe the arts have the power to inspire and uplift. And we are firmly committed to providing everyone in our community with greater access to the arts. 

OSBA has been presenting world-class classical music programs in Ogden for over sixty-five years; we added dance to our line-up in 1982. Since that time, we have presented over 800 concerts. Our Concerts are our flagship program and feature star-studded talent rivallng that seen in much larger cities. And each year, our performances are attended by over 20,000 people. To find out more about our performances, check out our calendar.

In addition, OSBA actively works to engage and educate younger patrons. For example, our Youth Benefit Concert provides young aspiring musicians from our community with a chance to audition, to perform, and to learn from a Young Concert Artist. Our Youth Guild for the Performing Arts has provided generations of high school students with opportunities to serve and socialize. We also offer a variety of music education classes, from Masterworks Music Detectives to Music Explorers. And we are partnering with several local community organizations to expand these programs to reach even more people, especially under-served populations, through our free lectures, after-school programs, discounts and complimentary ticket programs, and Masterclasses.
