EDINA ORCHESTRA BOOSTERS
The Edina Orchestra Boosters is comprised of volunteers who give their time and financial support to Edina’s exceptional orchestra programs for students in grades 5 - 12. The Boosters are led by a board which organizes activities and assistance for the orchestras. We are fortunate to have a supportive community who understands the importance of the arts as a non-discretionary component of K-12 education.
You can relive the concert performances from the past year on our Edina Orchestra YouTube Channel! If you'd like to support their endeavors, including making virtual concerts accessible, please consider making a donation to the Edina Orchestra Boosters. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps sustain their efforts to share their musical talents with the community.
