Past performers have included soloists Itzhak Perlman, Andre Watts, Roger Williams, Judy Collins, Doc Severinsen, Sandi Patty, Joshua Bell, Frederica von Stade, and Daniel Rodriguez.

The orchestra is governed by a board of directors made up of community volunteers and employs a small full-time and part-time staff.
