Our Mission & Values Are Our North Star

The Minnesota Orchestra’s mission is to enrich, inspire and serve our community as an enduring symphony orchestra internationally recognized for its artistic excellence.

Respect

We expect a culture in which all members treat one another with decency, fairness and professionalism.

Collaborate

We support a culture that encourages colleagues to work together to solve problems and seek solutions, in which alternate views are valued and the worth of each individual’s contribution is respected.

Listen

We strive to hear each other’s perspectives and to be professional, courteous and empathetic as we seek mutual understanding.

Standing Against Racial Injustice

The Orchestra is committed to using music to communicate and bridge cultures. We seek to create, develop and nurture connections that allow us to authentically contribute to making the Twin Cities a more equitable community, and we are currently focused with great priority on working to disrupt our own role in systemic racism. Our current work includes a programming focus, a fellowship program, and a series of Anti-Racist Learning Projects. We are committed to recognizing inequities in our organization, industry and community, and to advancing the change that must happen.
