Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a INTRODUCTION: For 50 years, Minnesota Youth Symphonies (MYS) has been committed to providing the highest quality of orchestral music training program available to motivated student musicians, emphasizing focus, excellence and community. GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE: MYS is governed by a board of directors including a board chair, a vice chair, a treasurer and a secretary altogether acting as the executive committee. The board meets 7 times per year and is responsible for oversight of the executive director and the artistic director. The board reviews and approves the yearly budget and quarterly financial reports. The board is also engaged in community outreach and fundraising activities. STAFFING AND VOLUNTEER INVOLVEMENT: The executive director, Tony Thomann, is responsible for all operations and administrative duties. The role oversees an operations manager, a communications coordinator and the head librarian. This team is responsible for organizing, the recruiting of students, the auditioning of students, scheduling and functioning rehearsals, communicating with parents, staff and students scheduling and billing information, billing families and students, scheduling and running concerts, and all other duties that create the structure of the MYS community experience. The artistic director, Mark Mandarano, is responsible for the securing of artistic staff and musical selections, ensuring that students are led by experienced and capable instructors and conductors, and that they are engaged in meaningful and diverse musical experience. The artistic director acts as a conductor for one of the five ensembles and oversees the four other conductors, three sectional coaches, and any guest artists that work with students. MYS is supported by over 100 volunteers each year. Volunteers assist with duties ranging from setting up spaces for rehearsal each week to managing music under the supervision of the head librarian for each of the ensembles. FUTURE GOALS AND CHALLENGES: MYS continues to grow its program and will look to add more options for musical experiences and growth for its students in the coming year. These include scheduling larger works for the orchestras to play, more opportunities for works from diverse composers, and different venues to share the musical achievements of the student musicians. As MYS continues to grow, finding ways to continue to foster a sense of community while expanding in time and location will be a welcome challenge.
