Mission Statement
Engage, enrich and inspire our community through artistically vibrant performances.
Values Statement
As we pursue our
Vision, the following Values will remain central to us:
PERFORMANCE. The TSO upholds high artistic and professional
standards with continuous, measurable improvement. We present performances that are unique,
informative and appealing, that engage the audience and performers, and that
provide a magical experience for both.
EDUCATION/OUTREACH.
The TSO provides opportunities for diverse audiences to experience the
art form in a relevant, entertaining, and approachable way, making the art form
engaging to existing audiences and available to those who would otherwise not
have the opportunity to experience it.
STEWARDSHIP. The TSO
is a responsible steward of symphonic music in order to keep it available to
the community in all its forms. We
utilize the financial resources entrusted to us with wisdom, maintaining sound
financial practices and a culture of transparency. We engage our financial partners and are
responsive to their creative ideas. We
manage our human resources , both paid and volunteer, with integrity and care.
PEOPLE. The TSO is a
"people" organization at heart and thrives on customer service, board
member dedication and loyalty, and patron enthusiasm and support. We treat and compensate our musicians and
staff as the professionals they are. We
are respectful of the time, talents and ideas of our Board members and other
volunteers.
COMMUNITY. The TSO is
a collaborative, respectful organization and promotes an atmosphere of service
to our community. We work in partnership
with the larger arts sector and beyond to address local needs. We seek innovative ways to make the TSO a
nimble resource for the community.
