Board of Directors
The Minnesota Orchestra Board of Directors serve as responsible stewards, ensuring the Minnesota Orchestra provides great artistry in our community, benefitting current and future musicians and audience members. This generous group of volunteer leaders and the corporations they represent have contributed $60 million in the past five years to help the Orchestra achieve and maintain excellence. In addition, they have agreed to increase their support by 20 percent as part of our new business plan. There is no other donor base in our community who is willing to increase their support in such a significant way. We remain grateful for their demonstrated leadership and commitment.
