St Croix Valley Orchestra Association

CELEBRATING 33 YEARS!

MATCHING GRANT!! The first $1,000 of donations will be matched dollar for dollar, one time per donor. Your $50 gift would give the orchestra $100. 

In 1991 some local musicians gathered to perform Handel's Messiah. It was so rewarding that the musicians decided to form a permanent orchestra - a rare group to find in a rural area! The St. Croix Valley Orchestra continues today to bring live music of the masters to rural areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin.  

Members contribute to their communities. Chamber groups of string and wind players participate yearly in Amery's "Love your Library" event and a quartet plays for nursing homes.  

    * We donate money to school music programs in our area. 

    * We give scholarships to members who graduate high school.

    *We commissioned and performed two new pieces and performed the premieres.

Though the players are volunteers,  expenses such as music purchases, director's salary, stipends for soloists, travel and publicity costs. Your donations also help:

- Purchase new music and equipment

- Rent space

- Subsidize scholarships for members who are graduating and heading to college

A big THANK YOU to all who have donated and supported us through the years!
