Ukiah Symphony Orchestra

The Ukiah Symphony Orchestra (USO) is a community-based ensemble situated in the city of Ukiah, California. This orchestra has been an integral part of the local cultural scene since its inception in 1979. Over the past four decades, the USO has consistently provided the residents of Ukiah and its neighboring communities with regular seasons of orchestral music, enriching the area's cultural offerings and fostering a love for classical music. In addition to the orchestra itself, the Ukiah Symphony Association, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization, plays a vital role in the orchestra's success. The Association's mission is to provide financial support and promote the orchestra's concerts and events. It is overseen by a Board of Directors, which is made up of community volunteers who are committed to the orchestra's growth and sustainability. The board members include Jean Craig as President, Beth Aiken as Secretary and Personnel, Chatnaree Upton as Treasurer, Janice Hawthorne Timm overseeing the website and ticketing, Steve Baird serving as an At-Large member and Master of Ceremonies, Melinda Martinez Becker as the Social Media Coordinator and Artistic Consultant, and Phillip Lenberg as the Music Director and Conductor. The Ukiah Symphony Association values the contributions of its board members, who are volunteers dedicating their time and expertise to the organization. They are responsible for various tasks, from organizing concerts to managing the orchestra's finances and sensitive information. The Association periodically has openings for new board members who are willing to take on these important roles and contribute to the orchestra's ongoing success. For those interested in supporting the Ukiah Symphony Orchestra, there are opportunities to donate money, provide in-kind donations, or volunteer time. The Association also offers various sponsorship and advertising options to businesses and individuals looking to partner with the orchestra.
