For over 11 decades, the Greater Grand
Forks Symphony Orchestra has been a
highly valued contributor to the performing
arts in the Grand Forks area, attracting
large and loyal audiences from across the
Red River Valley.

As we enter our 116th concert season, we continue to develop the quality and diversity of the orchestra's performances, as well as its music-education activities. These include the Young Audience Concert and other outreach chamber music concerts in schools.

Subscription and ticket income alone does not fully cover the many costs associated with running a symphony orchestra.

With only a portion of its income coming from government sources and grants, the orchestra relies heavily on the generosity of donors and sponsors.
