One orchestra. Hundreds of moving parts.

Great music does not simply happen. People make it happen.

Every performance begins long before the first downbeat—with bold artistic choices, meticulous preparation, deep community relationships, and a team willing to make the impossible feel effortless.

03 / Behind the music

The people behind the people.

Nine volunteers govern this orchestra—four of whom also play in it. They set the budget, protect the mission, and make sure a kid can still walk into a concert for free. Meet the board →

Could you be part of it?

You don’t need a music degree. You need judgment, a few hours a month, and a reason to care whether this community keeps its orchestra. Tell us what you’d bring and we’ll talk.
