Defying the trend many American orchestras face, the MSO in its 2010-11 season has shown dramatic increases in attendance, sponsorships and donations.

In addition, season subscribers and donorships are significantly up, notably an almost 20 percent increase in contributions by individuals, businesses and foundations from $2.1 million to $2.5 million.
