The Minnesota Sinfonia is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by corporate, foundation and individual contributors which performs for over 25,000 people each year.
The orchestra develops a three-month curriculum with local teachers, focusing on a different core subject each year.
Students participate in a week of intensive orchestra rehearsals, culminating in a joint concert with the Minnesota Sinfonia.
Early on, the Sinfonia developed policies of free admission and children welcome to all performances.
Jay Fishman has been the artistic and executive director of the Minnesota Sinfonia since its inception in 1989.
