Mary Ellyn Johnson

Community Engagement Manager @Minnesota Orchestra

Minneapolis, MN, US

My Community Engagement work at Minnesota Orchestra strives to present interdisciplinary programs which engage audiences with diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, striving to eliminate barriers of access to the orchestra. This is done through collaborations and partnerships, co-creating experiences that create and deepen connections between the Minnesota Orchestra and the communities it serves, including concert and preview discussions as well as large scale projects (in development) with musicians and artists, performances, productions and exhibits. By facilitating artistic experiences and engaging audiences in various settings at the Hall and in their communities, the goal is to always co-create, always meeting folks where they are at and reaching to get where they want to be.
