Although a separate agency, the university's music department oversees the handling of the orchestra.
Maestro Efrain Amaya, a professor of music at Minot State University, is the orchestra's conductor and has held the position since 2015.
The Minot Area Council of the Arts (MACA), a local non-profit agency that supports the arts, provides advertising, scheduling assistance, and other assistance to the orchestra.
Minot is considered to be the smallest city in the United States that supports a full-sized symphony orchestra.
