Individual Giving
The future is bright! At the core of it all is you — our donors, volunteers, and audience — you are everything to us.”
Video: Principal Trombonist Doug Wright on Donor Support
Doug Wright believes that one of the most beautiful things about music is how it helps us to feel and to think. "I think music does that in a way that I’m not sure any other art form can," he says. With your help, the Minnesota Orchestra will continue to do what we do best, at the highest level: prioritize and enhance the audience experience, help discover and nurture talented artists, make and champion new music, uplift the beloved orchestral classics, and inspire passion in youth and all our community members.
Please make a gift today to power the magic of music. Minnesota Orchestra supporters Carole Wiederhorn and Jean and the late Ray Witter have made incredible challenge gifts to match all donations, dollar for dollar, up to $27,000 through August 31.
Generous donations from Orchestra supporters help nourish the community with beautiful music while ensuring a bright future for the Minnesota Orchestra.
The Minnesota Orchestra strives to enrich, inspire, and serve the community through powerful musical experiences. Your contribution supports world-renowned musicians, champions innovative artistry, inspires the next generation of music lovers and makers, and provides broad access to music and learning through digital concerts and online educational content.
Attending the Minnesota Orchestra concerts enriches my life, and it enriches others' lives. I support it for this.”
