2011/12 Board of Directors
Many people think we sound like professional musicians. However by day, we are administrators, nurses, engineers, teachers, accountants, doctors, and students (and more).
Our love of music is what brings us together. So we gladly spend our free time practicing, rehearsing and performing.
We keep our concerts affordable for our audiences with low admission charges. So as a board-controlled, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on member contributions as well as the generosity of donors, corporate sponsors, and our summer season to pay for our costs.
