Governance and Finances

The Thalia Symphony Orchestra is run by a board of directors that includes both orchestra players and non-musicians. The board manages all non-musical aspects of the orchestra (e.g., insurance, corporate registration, promotion, finance, fund-raising, etc.). The board also commissions a Repertoire Committee of musicians to act as a resource for the Music Director for the coming season. The Music Director works with the Repertoire Committee to make final program decisions.

Thalia is essentially a volunteer organization. Our sources of income are ticket sales and donations from businesses and individual supporters.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
