key cultural asset in the region's economic development process. With a
$1 million payroll and 180 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees,
the Orchestra has a multiplier effect on the local and regional
economy, using dollars that would not otherwise have seen their way
into the community (for example, hotels, restaurants, gas stations,
retail, insurance, accountants, sound & lighting systems, music
stores, graphic designers, printers, etc.)
