Join the MSO in celebrating the 44th birthday of our Artistic Director & Conductor, Benjamin Nilles!
It's been a big year for Benjamin, and the MSO, and we are in the middle of celebrating Ben's 10th anniversary. The first half of our 2026-27 season has brought new music, new collaborations, and new audience members who want to hear us. As our audience grows, our work continues with concerts and events through June. So, to recognize the achievements of Benjamin and to help us cover expenses through the season, we're collecting donations.
Benjamin's Birthday Bash fundraiser is open the entire month of February and we're seeking funding on two levels. To recognize Benjamin's 10th anniversary with the MSO, you can donate $10.
Or, you can donate $44 in honor of his 44th birthday, and there are two exciting benefits for donating that amount.
1. Those who donate $44 can rep the MSO by choosing one of our fun and colorful stickers for free!
2. Also Benjamin's actual birthday is on February 19 and all $44 donations made that day will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous community member. Double your impact and donate $44 on February 19!
